Bats play a vital role in our ecosystems and economies as natural pest‐control agents, seed
dispersers, and pollinators. Agricultural intensification, however, can impact bats foraging …

Neonicotinoids are neurotoxic systemic insecticides applied extensively worldwide. The
impacts of common neonicotinoids like imidacloprid on non-target invertebrate pollinators have …

Biomarkers are frequently used in ecotoxicology as they allow to study toxicant effects
happening at low concentrations of exposure. However, most sublethal studies only evaluate …

Bat populations are dwindling worldwide due to anthropogenic activities like agriculture,
however the role that pesticide exposure plays on these declines is unclear. To address these …

Pesticide use associated with agricultural intensification represents a threat for wildlife,
particularly for non-target species. Insectivorous bats, for example, regularly forage in agricultural …

Quantifying hair cortisol has become popular in wildlife ecology for its practical advantages
for evaluating stress. Before hair cortisol levels can be reliably interpreted, however, it is key …

Mercury (Hg) is a non-essential and toxic element that is ubiquitous in the marine
environment and biomagnifies through food webs. Given the high trophic position of many …

Long-term social aggregations are maintained by multiple mechanisms, including the use of
acoustic signals, which may nonetheless entail significant energetic costs. To date, however…

Bats are potentially exposed to pesticides via foraging in croplands. Common pesticides like
organophosphates are neurotoxic for vertebrates and even low doses can impair essential …

Bats display diverse foraging strategies both within and among species, and this variation
can facilitate exposure to and intake of various potentially harmful contaminants (including …
