AEcol - Andrews Ecology Ltd:   Bat Tree Habitat Key     

Bat Tree Habitat Key comprises:

  1. An account of how Potential Roost Features (PRF) form, why they form, where they form, why they form where they form, and approximately how long they can be predicted to last;
  2. An account of how bat species native to the British Isles use trees; and
  3. A dichotomous key to potential bat-roosts in trees for use in the formation of a hypothesis used to guide further survey effort, and also an interpretive tool to give a hypothesis of what might have been present, where conclusive evidence has eluded survey.
 The book works through basic tree biology to illustrate how the different features that bats occupy form.
