The poster “Impact of anthropogenic noise on bat community” will be displayed at the Research Day.
The poster summarizes experiments done to evaluate the effects of construction noise on bat communities.
Ai Engineering contributed a significant sampling effort by simulating the noise produced by construction sites. The work is useful in being able to confirm that noise produced by construction sites results in an impact on bat communities up to about 50 m away from the emissive source. More importantly, it is shown that this is a temporary impact in that the communities recolonize the site as soon as the noise emissions end and thus the temporariness and reversibility of the impact is in fact demonstrated. The work was carried out in collaboration with TELT sas, the University of Torino – Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology.
