Impact of night-time crop harvesting on bat activity in agricultural landscape

Abstract: We investigated activity of bats in agricultural landscape in relation to crop harvesting during the night. We conducted bat monitoring along four transects (8 km in total) located in Western Poland from July to September over three years. We used a Batbox detector for the assessment of bat activity. We collected data on two species (Nyctalus noctula, Eptesicus serotinus) and a group of the genus Pipistrellus. The generalised linear mixed model revealed that activity of N. noctula and E. serotinus in studied f… Show more

“…Such a temporarily insect rich surrogate foraging habitat could have been agricultural land. Heim et al (2016) speculate that harvesting activity during September could temporarily increase insect availability in the area (cf Plucinski et al, 2015). Voigt et al (2015) found that Eptesicus serotinus, an open space foraging bat with a similar wing morphology as N. noctula (Norberg and Rayner, 1987), feeds on terrestrial and aquatic insects alike, which suggests flexibility in the habitat use of feeding open space foragers.…”
