The management of feeding areas for greater horseshoe bats (ENRR174)

The objectives of this study were to: determine the dietary requirements of greater horseshoe bats over a wide geographical range and identify key prey species on a seasonal basis: identify habitat features promoting high densities of key prey species in areas within known foraging range throughout the summer: identify important habitat features influencing movements between roosts and foraging areas: propose land management prescriptions which will integrate with current forestry and farming systems to maintain or enhance foraging areas for greater horseshoe bats.
