This guide provides descriptions of when the bat species resident
in Britain and Ireland use natural and human-made rock habitats,
how they use them, and the environments each species occupies
therein. For the first time it brings together findings from
historical scientific investigations, useful photographic accounts
and open-access biological records, along with a rich seam of new
data – all in a practical and user-friendly structure. The book
encompasses: ~ Descriptions of the features that a climber, caver
or professional ecologist might encounter on and in rock habitats
where bats roost. ~ Recording criteria for both the physical and
environmental attributes of different features and situations. ~
Identification of suitability thresholds against which the recorded
information can be compared to assess the likelihood that a
specific feature might be exploited by a particular bat species. ~
Suggestions for how to avoid mistakes and difficulties when
performing a survey. The intention is that using this book will
help generate standardised biological records which can feed into
the fully accessible online database
at www.batrockhabitatkey.co.uk. These data will be analysed
to search for patterns that can increase the confidence in the
suitability thresholds and help build roost features that deliver
the environment each species really needs. As well as offering many
new insights, this book allows the reader to participate in
cutting-edge research.
