Ecosystem services of insectivorous bats in intensively managed arable land benefit from adjacent near-natural areas

2025-02-27

Abstract excerpt

Ecosystem services provided by insectivorous bats are an important yet underappreciated economic benefit of biodiversity. To investigate what is needed to maintain these services, we asked whether bat-mediated ecosystem services depend on near-natural areas adjacent to farmland. We used high-throughput tracking and genetic sequencing to determine the habitat use and diet of 128 common noctule bats (Nyctalus noctul...
