Animal space use is complex, from both the individual and population perspectives. Spatial memory leads to site fidelity, the emergence of home ranges, and multi-scaled use of the environment. Attraction to conspecifics--another memory-dependent property--contributes to population survival by counteracting decline in local abundance from unconstrained dispersal. However, memory effects, multi-scaled space use, and intra-specific cohesion present deep theoretical challenges for biophysical modelling. This book confronts these issues straight on, and presents a range of novel system descriptors, model designs, and simulations; intrinsic properties from memory and scaling are illustrated in detail, and classical models are scrutinized with respect to compliance with real data. The presentations of concepts are geared towards a broad audience of researchers and students with an interest in animal space use.The book advocates that an extension of the biophysical frame of reference may be needed to understand systems that express intrinsic complexity from the combined effects of scaling and memory. It boldly provides an overview and critical evaluation of existing concepts, and a wide range of theoretical proposals to resolve present challenges.

"The premise of this book is that studying animal ecology should begin with the behaviors and characteristics of individual organisms, which are then put into the context of breeding and social groups and then, macroscopically, considered in terms of how the abiotic and biotic environment shapes the development of animal populations, habitats, and ecosystems. This book presents conceptual foundations for an audience of college students and early-career wildlife professionals"--

This book provides a comprehensive review of the evolution of traits associated with predation and predator defense for bats and all of their prey, both invertebrates (e.g. insects) and vertebrates (e.g. frogs), in the context of co-evolution. It reviews current knowledge of how echolocation and passive hearing are used by bats to hunt prey in complete darkness. Also it highlights how prey have evolved counter measures to bat echolocation to avoid detection and capture. This includes the whole range of prey responses from being active at times when bats are inactive to the use of acoustic signals of their own to interfere with the echolocation system of bats.

Evidenzbasierter Fledermausschutz in Windkraftvorhaben Dieses Open-Access-Buch beschäftigt sich mit den neuesten Erkenntnissen und Evidenzen über die Möglichkeiten, die Zahl der Fledermaus-Schlagopfer an Windenergieanlagen zu reduzieren. Die Energieproduktion aus Windkraft ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Energiewende in Deutschland. Seit Jahren zeigen jedoch Untersuchungen, dass vor allem Fledermäuse und Großvögel vielfach durch Kollisionen an Windenergieanlagen sterben. Der richtige Umgang mit diesem Dilemma stellt eine politische, gesellschaftliche und wissenschaftliche Herausforderung dar. Um im Rahmen der Energiewende die Klimaschutzziele in Einvernehmen mit den Biodiversitätszielen zu erreichen, ist die Neu- und Weiterentwicklung der Methoden des Fledermausschutzes zentral. Führende Experten präsentieren in diesem Buch den Kenntnisstand ihres jeweiligen Themen- und Tätigkeitsfeldes, präsentieren neue Daten und schlagen konzeptionelle Änderungen vor. Das Buch richtet sich damit sowohl an Wissenschaftler, Fachgutachter, Behördenvertreter, politische Vertreter sowie an Vertreter von Naturschutzorganisationen und des Ehrenamts. Der Herausgeber Christian Voigt leitet die Abteilung Evolutionäre Ökologie am Leibniz-Institut für Zoo- Wildtierforschung in Berlin und Dozent an der Freien Universität Berlin. Er ist Mitherausgeber des Springer Open-Access Buchs 'Bats in the Anthropocene: Conservation of Bats in a challenging world', Autor von mehr als 200 wissenschaftlichen Artikeln in Journals mit Qualitätssicherung und Mitglied in den Editorial Boards der SpringerNature Zeitschriften Oecologica und Movement Ecology.
