Benign effects of logging on aerial insectivorous bats in Southeast Asia revealed by remote sensing technologies by Natalie Yoh, Dave J. I. Seaman, Nicolas J. Deere, Henry Bernard, Jake E. Bicknell, Matthew J. Struebig

“…Nevertheless, logged forests provide substantially better habitat for bats than tree plantations. While aerial insectivorous bats sampled via acoustic methods are poor indicators of forest disturbance overall, several species that respond predictably to logging could be targeted for biodiversity monitoring using acoustic and capture-based methods.…”
