Habitat around maternity roosts of the 55 kHz phonic type of pipistrelle bats ( Pipistrellus pipistrellus)
Abstract We quantified the percentage cover of habitats and the extent of linear features within 2 km of 11 maternity roosts of the 55 kHz phonic type of pipistelles Pipistrellus pipistrellus in south‐west England, and compared these with habitats around random points. The dominant habitats around b...
