The ecology and conservation of the large-footed Myotis (Myotis macropus) in an urban environment

(2020) The ecology and conservation of the large-footed Myotis (Myotis macropus) in an urban environment. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

The large-footed myotis (Myotis macropus) is a specialist trawling bat that can be found roosting in concrete culverts under roads, throughout urban environments. This study used a multidisciplinary approach to investigate culvert roost selection and urban landscape use by a specialist species in a subtropical city. The foundational ecological information detailed in this thesis concerning culvert roost selection and availability, urban movement patterns and gene flow between culvert roosts, will assist in planning future urban conservation initiatives of this specialist bat.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
