  1. 6. Hibernation Sites and Activity of Bats During Winter

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Jacqueline Nelms; [2023]
    Keywords : bats; temperate bats; hibernation; winter activity; temperature; hibernation sites; fladdermöss; tempererade fladdermöss; övervintring; vinteraktivitet; temperatur; övervintringsplatser;

    Abstract : In the temperate region, bats have evolved the strategy of hibernation to survive the harsh winter. During hibernation, bats enter the vulnerable state of torpor that requires specific environmental conditions to function optimally. Bats are known to use caves and anthropogenic structures as hibernation sites. READ MORE

  3. 7. Antibodies in non-vaccinated dogs : a field study on rabies in dogs in Laos

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Lisa Mattsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Rabies; neglected zoonoses; serology; Laos; canines; ELISA;

    Abstract : Rabies is a viral, zoonotic disease caused by a rhabdovirus. Most rabies cases occur in wild animals such as bats, foxes, raccoons, and skunks, however, any mammal can get the infection. 99% of all human cases are caused by bites from rabid dogs. Vaccination of dogs is the most effective way to prevent rabies in people. READ MORE

    Author : Koen Pronk; [2022]
    Keywords : passive acoustic monitoring; bioindicator; chiroptera; audioMoth; trophic rewilding;

    Abstract : Ecosystem restoration through the reintroduction of grazers is gaining interest across Europe. Large herbivores are associated with landscape heterogeneity, restoration of trophic cascades and biodiversity. READ MORE

  6. 10. An Analysis of Data Compression Algorithms in the Context of Ultrasonic Bat Bioacoustics

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DM)

    Author : Max Anderson; Benjamin Anderson; [2022]
    Keywords : bioacoustics; data compression; bats; audio data; ultrasonic;

    Abstract : Audio data compression seeks to reduce the size of sound files, making them easier to store and transfer, and is thus a highly valued tool for those working with large sets of audio data. For example, some biologists work with audio recordings of bats, which are well known for their frequent use of ultrasonic echolocation, and so these biologists can accrue massive amounts of high frequency audio data.
