Methodological challenges in monitoring bat population - and assemblage-level changes for anthropogenic impact assessment (2014)
Journal Article
Meyer, C. F. (2014). Methodological challenges in monitoring bat population - and assemblage-level changes for anthropogenic impact assessment. Mammalian Biology, 80(3), 159-169. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mambio.2014.11.002

Recent years have seen increased attention to bats as an effective bioindicator group for assessing responses to drivers of global change, which concurrently has led to a revived interest in establish-ing a global bat monitoring network. To be effect... Read More about Methodological challenges in monitoring bat population - and assemblage-level changes for anthropogenic impact assessment.

Where to nest? Ecological determinants of chimpanzee nest abundance and distribution at the habitat and tree species scale (2014)
Journal Article
Carvalho, J., Meyer, C. F., Vicente, L., & Marques, T. (2015). Where to nest? Ecological determinants of chimpanzee nest abundance and distribution at the habitat and tree species scale. American Journal of Primatology, 77(2), 186-199. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.22321

Conversion of forests to anthropogenic land‐uses increasingly subjects chimpanzee populations to habitat changes and concomitant alterations in the plant resources available to them for nesting and feeding. Based on nest count surveys conducted dur... Read More about Where to nest? Ecological determinants of chimpanzee nest abundance and distribution at the habitat and tree species scale.

Species undersampling in tropical bat surveys : effects on emerging biodiversity patterns (2014)
Journal Article
Meyer, C., Aguiar, L., Aguirre, J., Baumgarten, J., Clarke, F., Cosson, J., …Kalko, E. (2014). Species undersampling in tropical bat surveys : effects on emerging biodiversity patterns. Journal of Animal Ecology, 84(1), 113-123. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.12261

Summary: Undersampling is commonplace in biodiversity surveys of species-rich tropical assemblages in which rare taxa abound, with possible repercussions for our ability to implement surveys and monitoring programmes in a cost-effective way. We... Read More about Species undersampling in tropical bat surveys : effects on emerging biodiversity patterns.

Echolocation of the big red bat Lasiurus egregius(Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) and first record from the Central Brazilian Amazon (2014)
Journal Article
López-Baucells, A., Rocha, R., Fernández-Arellano, G., Bobrowiec, P., Palmeirim, J., & Meyer, C. (2014). Echolocation of the big red bat Lasiurus egregius(Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) and first record from the Central Brazilian Amazon. Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment, 49(1), 18-25. https://doi.org/10.1080/01650521.2014.907600

Lasiurus egregius (Peters, 1870) is a rare Neotropical vespertilionid bat and virtually no data on its ecology and echolocation calls are currently available. We report the capture of four individuals in the Central Amazon, representing the first rec...

Predicting biodiversity change and averting collapse in agricultural landscapes (2014)
Journal Article
Mendenhall, C., Karp, D., Meyer, C., Hadly, E., & Daily, G. (2014). Predicting biodiversity change and averting collapse in agricultural landscapes. Nature, 509, 213-217. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature13139

The equilibrium theory of island biogeography1 is the basis for estimating extinction rates2 and a pillar of conservation science3,4. The default strategy for conserving biodiversity is the designation of nature reserves, treated as islands in an...
