Alves Et Al 2025 - Exposure Assessment of Metals in Cave-Dwelling Bats by Alexandra is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study assesses metal exposure in cave-dwelling bats roosting in abandoned mines in Portugal, highlighting the significance of these sites for bat conservation. Non-invasive samples from four bat species revealed metal concentrations, particularly in wing membranes, indicating potential health risks linked to anthropogenic activities. The findings underscore the need for monitoring metal exposure to understand and mitigate the decline of bat populations globally.
