Ultrasonic monitoring to assess the impacts of forest conversion on Solomon Island bats

Abstract: Paleotropical islands are experiencing extensive land-use change, yet little is known about how such changes are impacting wildlife in these biodiversity hotspots. To address this knowledge gap, we characterized bat responses to forest conversion in a biodiverse, human-threatened coastal rainforest habitat on Makira, Solomon Islands. We analysed~200 h of acoustic recordings from echolocating bats in the four dominant types of land use on Makira: intact forest, secondary forest, food gardens and cacao plantatio… Show more

“…Several studies have documented the negative impacts of habitat modi cation on island bats (e.g., Davies et al 2016;Ferreira et al 2022;Moseley et al 2022). Here, we expand on these by showing that land-use change also leads to species-speci c shifts in the diel activity of insular insectivorous bats and that assemblage-level temporal overlap varies signi cantly across different land-use types.…”
