We have been very busy this week and we have a whole range of recently accepted articles:
- Bats as bioindicators – The need of a standardized method for acoustic bat activity surveys

Bats as bioindicators – The need of a standardized method for acoustic bat activity surveys
Peter Stahlschmidt and Carsten Brühl
I have not seen the paper yet, but wonder who (with experience) may have reviewed it.
Having been one of the pioneers for the use of acoustic surveys in the Neotropics and derived a means of comparing between surveys.
E.g. Miller, B. W. 2001. A method for determining relative activity of free flying bats using a new activity index for acoustic monitoring. Acta Chiropterologica. 3: 93-105.
I am completing interactive ID keys tot he vocal signatures of Nontropical bats as well. Keys for species of the Mormoopidae and Noctillionidae have been public for > 3 years
