Ecological impact assessments fail to reduce risk of bat casualties at wind farms (2016)
Journal Article

Demand for renewable energy is rising exponentially. While this has benefits in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there may be costs to biodiversity [1]. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are the main tool used across the world to predict the... Read More about Ecological impact assessments fail to reduce risk of bat casualties at wind farms.

Differential responses of cryptic bat species to the urban landscape (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Urbanization is a key global driver in the modification of land use and has been linked to population declines even in widespread and relatively common species. Cities comprise a complex assortment of habi... Read More about Differential responses of cryptic bat species to the urban landscape.

Opportunities for improving the foraging potential of urban waterways for bats (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier B.V.. The rapid rate of urbanisation over the past century has occurred over a relatively small proportion of the earth's surface, yet it has had considerable ecological impact at a global scale. Urban waterways have historically been... Read More about Opportunities for improving the foraging potential of urban waterways for bats.

Differential responses to woodland character and landscape context by cryptic bats in urban environments (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Lintott et al. Urbanisation is one of the most dramatic forms of land use change which relatively few species can adapt to. Determining how and why species respond differently to urban habitats is important in predicting future biodiversity lo...

City life makes females fussy: Sex differences in habitat use of temperate bats in urban areas (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 The Authors. Urbanization is a major driver of the global loss of biodiversity; to mitigate its adverse effects, it is essential to understand what drives species' patterns of habitat use within the urban matrix. While many animal species are... Read More about City life makes females fussy: Sex differences in habitat use of temperate bats in urban areas.

Testing the effectiveness of surveying techniques in determining bat community composition within woodland (2014)
Journal Article

Context Determining the biodiversity of an area is essential for making targeted conservation decisions. Undertaking surveys to confirm species presence or to estimate population sizes can be difficult, particularly for elusive species. Bats are able...

Moth species richness, abundance and diversity in fragmented urban woodlands: Implications for conservation and management strategies (2014)
Journal Article

Urban expansion threatens global biodiversity through the destruction of natural and semi-natural habitats and increased levels of disturbance. Whilst woodlands in urban areas may reduce the impact of urbanisation on biodiversity, they are often subj...
