Prey size is more representative than prey taxa when measuring dietary overlap in sympatric forest bats
Abstract In temperate forests, insectivorous bats need to use variable hunting strategies as prey availability fluctuates during the growing season. At sites with variable amounts of forested habitat, sympatric bat species may exhibit high dietary overlap, but mechanisms of coexistence are unknown....
