“…In all these studies, the activity of strictly insectivorous bats was measured during their foraging activity, known to be driven by arthropod availability (Charbonnier, Barbaro, Theillout, & Jactel, 2014;Hayes, 1997). Thus, the lack of consensus about effects of farming systems on bats could be linked to an effect of the gradient of practices on their arthropod prey, such as herbicides and tillage intensity (Evans, Shaw, & Rypstra, 2010;Pereira et al, 2007;Rodríguez, Fernández-Anero, Ruiz, & Campos, 2006;Taylor, Maxwell, & Boik, 2006). Although some studies revealed herbicide accumulation in bats along the farming intensification gradient (Bayat, Geiser, Kristiansen, & Wilson, 2014;Stechert, Kolb, Bahadir, Djossa, & Fahr, 2014), the relative effects of herbicide use and tillage intensity on crop attractiveness for bats remain unstudied.…”
