A Triple-Isotope Approach to Predict the Breeding Origins of European Bats
Despite a commitment by the European Union to protect its migratory bat populations, conservation efforts are hindered by a poor understanding of bat migratory strategies and connectivity between breeding and wintering grounds. Traditional methods like mark-recapture are ineffective to study broad-scale bat migratory patterns. Stable hydrogen isotopes (δD) have been proven useful in establishin...
متن کاملComparison of physical, chemical and hydrogeological characteristics of karst springs in the western and eastern regions of Ilam province, Iran
Karst springs in the western and eastern regions of Ilam province have different physical and chemical properties. The springs of the western regions, are sulfuric and thermal with high salinity; while, springs in the eastern regions, are fresh and cold. Geological, hydrogeological, hydrogeochemical and isotope studies were performed to compare and determine the factors affecting the physical ...
متن کاملAcoustic Identification of Bats in the Eastern United States: A Comparison of Parametric and Nonparametric Methods
Ultrasonic detectors are widely used to survey bats in ecological studies. To evaluate efficacy of acoustic identification, we compiled a library of search phase calls from across the eastern United States using the Anabat system. The call library included 1,846 call sequences of 12 species recorded from 14 states. We determined accuracy rates using 3 parametric and 4 nonparametric classificati...
متن کاملStable hydrogen isotopes record the summering grounds of eastern red bats (Lasiurus borealis)
Bats face numerous threats associated with global environmental change, including the rapid expansion of wind-energy facilities, emerging infectious disease, and habitat loss. An understanding of the movement and migration patterns of these highly dispersive animals would help reveal how spatially localized the impacts from these threats are likely to be on bat populations, thus aiding in their...
متن کاملFemale Suicide and Labor Markets: A Disaggregated Panel Analysis of the Link between Labor Market Conditions and Female Suicides in the United States (1979- 2004)
Suicide is a well-known public health problem in the United States. Macroeconomic conditions, among many other factors, because of their impacts on psychological well-being of individuals, are thought to be linked to suicide attempts. However, previous research on the relationship between suicide rates and macroeconomic conditions, especially that of labor market conditions, has resulted into a...
