Insectivorous bats respond to vegetation complexity in urban green spaces

Structural complexity is known to determine habitat quality for insectivorous bats, but how bats respond to habitat complexity in highly modified areas such as urban green spaces has been little explored. Furthermore, it is uncertain whether a recently developed measure of structural complexity is as effective as field-based surveys when applied to urban environments. We assessed whether image-...

Migratory bats respond to artificial green light with positive phototaxis

Artificial light at night is spreading worldwide at unprecedented rates, exposing strictly nocturnal animals such as bats to a novel anthropogenic stressor. Previous studies about the effect of artificial light on bats focused almost exclusively on non-migratory species, yet migratory animals such as birds are known to be largely affected by light pollution. Thus, we conducted a field experimen...

Memorial of Joseph Murray

It has not been too long since we realized that Joseph Murray (1919-2012) has passed away while we heard this sad news 2 weeks ago. We never forget his memories and trip for the first time on 14th November 1974to Iran. He returned to our country one more time later to share his experiences with the country specialists. It is a great sorrow that he did not see our progress in plastic and reconst...
