Journal Article
Estrada-Villegas, S., Meyer, C., McGill, B., & Kalko, E. (2015). Assessing the structure of a Neotropical bat community using acoustic monitoring techniques. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 138(3), 1905. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4933991

Determining the structure and composition of tropical communities is challenging because some species are rare or hard to detect. Within Neotropical bats, aerial insectivores have been systematically undersampled because they avoid mist nets, the tra...
