DOI: 10.1007/s10344-020-01402-0
Abstract: Information about bat migration routes across the Alps is generally scarce and there is no existing data available for the Italian part of the chain. Through acoustic surveys, we explored the possibility that even a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10841-020-00235-1
Abstract: Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an important driver of change in ecological environments of the 21th century. We investigated the impact on nocturnal insect abundance and bat activity of two LED light colors (warm-white… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2017.12.024
Abstract: Abstract Previous studies have mainly focused on bat mortality through collision by wind turbines, and very few studies have assessed the indirect impacts on bat activity and on foraging habitat availability. Also, there is a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2018.e00500
Abstract: Abstract Although the activity patterns of bats are recognized to vary widely, both, temporally and spatially, the underlying drivers for those patterns remain poorly understood. Presently, studies focusing on foraging bat ecology have only generalized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00101-3
Abstract: Rail transport is expanding, with a global increase in infrastructure of up to one-third predicted by 2050. Greater reliance on rail is expected to benefit the environment at a planetary level, by mitigating transport-related carbon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1530/eje-17-0966
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity in humans is stimulated by cold and by a limited number of pharmacological agents, including β3-adrenergic agonists and bile acids. Although thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is known to activate BAT… read more here.

DOI: 10.3161/15081109acc2020.22.1.012
Abstract: Bats are found as fatalities at most wind energy facilities around the world, creating a challenge for wind developers to predict risk to bats in an area before building a new facility. Bat echolocation activity… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/metabo10100388
Abstract: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation is a possible therapeutic strategy to increase energy expenditure and improve metabolic homeostasis in obesity. Recent studies have revealed novel interactions between BAT and circulating lipid species—in particular, the non-esterified… read more here.
