“…Most studies have focused on specific ecological behaviours such as foraging (Rydell 1992;Blake et al 1994), predator-prey interactions, particularly with moths Svensson and Rydell 1998), commuting routes (Stone et al 2009(Stone et al , 2012 and roost emergence (Downs et al 2003). No long-term studies have been carried out to determine whether any of these behavioural changes have fitness consequences (Beier 2006;Stone et al 2012).…”

“…Light intensity has a significant effect on bat activity (Stone et al 2012) and delays roost emergence (Downs et al 2003). If bats delay foraging, they risk missing the peak abundance in insects that occurs shortly after dusk, so may not meet their energy requirements, which in turn could reduce fitness (Jones and Rydell 1994;Stone et al 2012).…”

“…Bats seem to adjust quickly to noise, yet as Rowse et al (2015) point out, some species may be quite sensitive to artificial light. For example, Pipistrellus pipistrellus are quite tolerant to artificial light during foraging, but altered their emergence behavior when exposed to different light intensities at their daytime roost (Down et al 2003). Directing artificial light at roost entrances may have a negative impact on bats roosting in buildings (Boldogh et al 2007).…”

“…For many species, including bats, the natural light regime is a cue that synchronizes their window of activity with their environment (Gaston et al ., , ). The artificial illumination of maternity roosts can delay the emergence of female bats (Downs et al ., ; Boldogh et al ., ), which has important fitness costs for reproductive females as they miss the peak abundance of insects at dusk (Rydell, ; Jones & Rydell, ).…”
