Bats reduce insect density and defoliation in temperate forests: An exclusion experiment
Bats suppress insect populations in agricultural ecosystems, yet the question of whether bats initiate trophic cascades in forests is mainly unexplored. We used a field experiment to test the hypothesis that insectivorous bats reduce defoliation through the top‐down suppression of forest‐defoliating...
