Hearing loss is a hallmark of aging, typically initially affecting the higher frequencies. In echolocating bats, the ability to discern high frequencies is essential. However, nothing is known about age-related hearing loss in bats, and they are often assumed to

Accurate population estimates are crucial to developing successful conservation policy, but the underlying data remain difficult to collect for many taxa. This is especially true for elusive species, such as temperate-zone bats, where visual counts in hibernacula underestimate their population
The excessive use of artificial light at night, also known as light pollution, is a hot topic in biological research and nature conservation. In Germany, however, there is still a lack of awareness of the importance of the problem and
Das Bestimmen von Fledermausrufaufnahmen ist anspruchsvoll. Das Landesamt für Umwelt in Bayern hat daher eine Hilfe für die fachliche Praxis herausgegeben. Nach dem Erscheinen von Teil 1 “Bestimmung von Fledermausrufaufnahmen und Kriterien für die Wertung von akustischen Artnachweisen“, in dem

Bats employ a variety of social calls for communication purposes. However, for most species, social calls are far less studied than echolocation calls and their specific function often remains unclear. We investigated the function of in-flight social calls during autumn
Social hunting strategies are already known in many animal species whose prey is irregularly distributed in the landscape. Now it has been documented in the case of the Common noctules (Nyctalus noctula) that groups of these animals join together to
Most people lack direct experience with wildlife and form their risk perception primarily on information provided by the media. The way the media frames news may substantially shape public risk perception, promoting or discouraging public tolerance towards wildlife. At the
