Post-glacial re-colonization of European biota

TLDR
A reduction in diversity from southern to northern Europe in the extent of allelic variation and species subdivision is seen; this is attributed to rapid expansion northward and the varied topography of southern refugia allowing populations to diverge through several ice ages.

Carpe noctem: the importance of bats as bioindicators

The earth is now subject to climate change and habitat deterioration on unprecedented scales. Monitoring climate change and habitat loss alone is insufficient if we are to understand the effects of…

Microchiropteran bats : global status survey and conservation action plan

TLDR
The first comprehensive review to identify the conservation priorities for the 834 species of Microchiroptera is offered, which aims to be used as a basis for the development of more local or regional action plans, or actions for particular groups of bat species.

The Impact of Conservation on the Status of the World’s Vertebrates

TLDR
Though the threat of extinction is increasing, overall declines would have been worse in the absence of conservation, and current conservation efforts remain insufficient to offset the main drivers of biodiversity loss in these groups.

A review of the global conservation status of bats

TLDR
A review of the more general issues relating to bat conservation highlights the priority areas where action is needed immediately at a global, regional or national level and highlights in particular the global importance of islands and caves for bats.

Timing of foraging flights of three species of bats in relation to insect activity and predation risk

TLDR
Protective tree cover may allow earlier evening emergence of bats and therefore provide access to more food, and have implications for the conservation ofbats and their habitats particularly at high latitudes.
