Bats, insects and weather : spatial-temporal trends on a boreal forest wind facility in Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)Bats and insects are valuable indicators of ecosystem health. As both organisms are potential bioindicators, it is important to understand how they interact with each other and their environment. Bats and insects are facing ... -
Drivers of bat activity and habitat use in boreal forest
(PhD thesis;2024:29, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Bat species in Fennoscandia make up approximately 20% of the terrestrial mammal wildlife and are all reliant on forest habitats to some extent throughout their annual cycle. However, there is a lack of knowledge on ecological ... -
Habitat and foraging ecology of two cryptic bat species 59° North : Myotis mystacinus and M. brandtii
(Master thesis, 2020)The Brandts’ bat (Myotis brandtii) and the whiskered bat (Myotis mystacinus) are cryptic species from distinct taxonomic clades whose ranges frequently overlap. What, if any, resource partitioning that exists between them ... -
Hide and seek : a pilot study on day roosts in autumn and hibernacula for Vesper bats in southeast Norway
(Master thesis, 2018)1. Bats constitute >20% of all terrestrial mammal species in Norway (12 resident species, 7 on the national Red list). Yet, the knowledge of their distribution, population trends and potential threats in Norway is very ... -
Monitoring bat-insect relationships in boreal forest habitats
(Master thesis, 2022)Insect populations have over the last decades experienced global declines caused by anthropogenic disturbances, e.g., land-use changes, habitat loss, deforestation, and agricultural intensification. Consequently, insectivore ... -
The hunt for maternity colonies : a pilot study of using radio telemetry to track bats in southeast Norway
(Master thesis, 2018)There is still a gap of knowledge regarding bats in Norway. More studies are needed to explore which habitats are important for the maternity colonies, and which methods are most suited to find them. This is especially ...
