Exploring the effects of climatic and environmental heterogeneity on the spatial activity of Patagonian bats
The spatial activity of four phonic groups from Central Patagonia in summer is governed jointly by climatic and environmental variables, with vegetation structure being the dominant driver. In the context of climate change, habitat loss and reduced water availability (especially in arid and semi-arid environments) could impact the populations of Patagonian bats, considering the importance of these factors in influencing their spatial activity.
