Using a Before-After-Control-Impact phantom road experimental
design, we examine the impacts of traffic noise on bat activity and feeding behaviour.

According to the data of the EUROBATS Agreement, a deserted system of World War Two defensive tunnels in northwest Poland is now ranked in top 10 largest bat hibernation sites in Europe with numbers of hibernating bats exceeding 39,000 individuals in some years. This paper highlights the research over 45 years to survey the bat species using these underground tunnels.
