Recent discoveries of several new, cryptic bat species in Europe, and the growing importance of bat conservation have resulted in an increased research effort to study roost site selection, habitat use and spacing/foraging behaviour of (rare) bat species (Arlettaz, 1999; Mayer and von Helversen, 2001; Mickleburgh et al., 2002; Di Salvo et al., 2009; Whitaker and Karataş, 2009). In fact, before ...

Food resources play an important role in the regulation of animals' physiology and behavior. We investigated the effect of short-term food restriction on metabolic thermogenesis of Chinese bulbuls (Pycnonotus sinensis) by measuring changes in body mass, body fat, basic metabolic rate (BMR), and organ mass of wild-caught Chinese bulbuls from Wenzhou, China. Short-term food restriction induced a ...

Abstract Biomonitoring surveys for the presence of invasive species need effective and efficient methods. Molecular methods based on detection genetic material in environmental samples or DNA (eDNA) provide better resolution detection, especially elusive species. The eDNA-based method is an approach that has been widely used conservation business management because it a non-invasive method. Cyt...
