Hi Alice,

All the counted bats in limestone mines in The Netherlands drawed on a map. Maybe you can contact Anne-Jifke Haarsma for collaboration about this?

René

Thanks, that would be great-could you message me with her email

She is also on RG l. [email protected] is her email address.

For information collected in Mexico, contact Dr Rodrigo Medellín [email protected] (he speaks both English and Spanish). 

For information collected in Canada, contact Dr Trent Bollinger [email protected]   and ask him about a better contact (he collaborates with field biologists that have been doing research on bat populations for at least 10 years). 

Hi - I have a few bits of data on bats in small caves and man-made tunnels in India, email me and I'll share it.

Dear Alice,

See the recently shared excellent overview of Furey and Racey "Conservation ecology of cave bats" for further tips and references.

We also have a publication "Catalogue of underground bat roosts of Hungary" - let me know if you are interested in such data.

Yours,

Gabor

Thanks so much Gabor!

Hello Alice

I don't know if your research is restricted to natural caves. There is a Eurobats publication on important underground sites in Europe, but not al countries submitted their data.

Our country (Netherlands) does not have natural caves (like large parts of  Germany, Denmark, France and Poland). But these regions often have mines and bats adapted in using those. Some of the conflicts are the same, but not always.

These mines always have owners (having the mining rights), often with limited or no interested in bats and legislation around miningrights is different in different countries. Often owners grant right of usage to others (mushroom growers, touroperators, storagerooms, survivaltrainers).  Papers on the effect of these activities is rare, but if you are interested I can point out to some.

Hi Alice,

Could you please specify exactly the kind of data you need? There is a national bat monitoring program in Israel which probably contains useful data for you. It is, unfortunately published in Hebrew... (link, English abstract at page 7: http://www.parks.org.il/ConservationAndheritage/Science/DocLib/bat2014.pdf.pdf). I can translate some for you if you specify what you need, but only parts, as the annual report spans about 70 pages.
