Local and landscape scale effects of fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bats in the Amazon (2022)
Thesis
Rowley, S. Local and landscape scale effects of fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bats in the Amazon. (Dissertation). The University of Salford

Deforestation is the main driver of the biodiversity crisis. Resulting landscapes are left fragmented with isolated remnant forest patches embedded in a human-modified matrix which has the propensity to regenerate into successional forest. The Biolog...

Bats and the city : urban bat biodiversity in a tropical biome transition zone (2019)
Thesis
Syme, P. Bats and the city : urban bat biodiversity in a tropical biome transition zone. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Urbanisation is an important factor in global land-use change which dramatically alters habitats at great detriment to wildlife. Our understanding of urban biodiversity patterns and their driving factors in tropical cities which interact with high le...

The impact of edge-effects on aerial insectivorous bat assemblages in the Amazon
Thesis
Yoh, N. (in press). The impact of edge-effects on aerial insectivorous bat assemblages in the Amazon. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Edge effects, the abiotic and biotic changes associated with habitat boundaries, are amongst the most important factors determining a species’ distribution in human-modified landscapes. Bats are the second most diverse mammalian order, however many s... Read More about The impact of edge-effects on aerial insectivorous bat assemblages in the Amazon.
