Frugivorous bats maintain functional habitat connectivity in agricultural landscapes but rely strongly on natural forest fragments.
Anthropogenic changes in land use threaten biodiversity and ecosystem functioning by the conversion of natural habitat into agricultural mosaic landscapes, often with drastic consequences for the associated fauna. The first step in the development of efficient conservation plans is to understand mov...
