    • Bat echolocation plasticity in allopatry: a call for caution in acoustic identification of Pipistrellus sp. 

      Montauban, Cecilia; Mas, Maria; Tuneu-Corral, Carme; Wangensteen, Owen S.; Budinski, Ivana; Martí-Carreras, Joan; Flaquer, Carles; Puig-Montserrat, Xavier; López-Baucells, Adrià (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-23)
      Animals modify their behaviours and interactions in response to changing environments. In bats, environmental adaptations are reflected in echolocation signalling that is used for navigation, foraging and communication. However, the extent and drivers of echolocation plasticity are not fully understood, hindering our identification of bat species with ultrasonic detectors, particularly for cryptic ...

    • Bats as natural samplers: First record of the invasive pest rice water weevil Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus in the Iberian Peninsula 

      Montauban, Cecilia; Mas, Maria; Wangensteen, Owen S.; Sarto i Monteys, Víctor; Gisbert Fornós, David; Ferré Mola, Xavi; López-Baucells, Adrià (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-19)
      We face an increasing global food security challenge as the human population continues to grow across the globe. As agricultural production rises to keep up with food demand, so too does the expansion of crop detrimental pest species. Early detection can be crucial to control their damage and relies on the use of accurate and dependable techniques. We report the first record of rice water weevil ...

    • Bats as potential suppressors of multiple agricultural pests: A case study from Madagascar 

      Kemp, James; López-Baucells, Adrià; Rocha, Ricardo; Wangensteen Fuentes, Owen Simon; Andriatafika, Zo; Nair, Abhilash; Cabeza, Mar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-01)
      The conversion of natural habitats to agriculture is one of the main drivers of biotic change. Madagascar is no exception and land-use change, mostly driven by slash-and-burn agriculture, is impacting the island's exceptional biodiversity. Although most species are negatively affected by agricultural expansion, some, such as synanthropic bats, are capable of exploring newly available resources and ...
