Systematic documentation of bat die-offs related to extreme weather events is necessary to improve understanding of the effect of changing weather patterns on bat populations and the ecosystem services they provide. Although the effects of climate change on wildlife populations is increasingly documented (FAO 2012) , there is still much to learn about the responses of particular species to extreme temperature events, and the potential consequences for their populations and the ecosystem services they support. Systematically documenting mass mortality events is important to understand how bat populations could be affected by a changing environment and climate (Welbergen et al. As such, this report contributes to documenting how changes in land-use and weather patterns influence bat population resilience and health. ./cache/cord-343206-9tqivs5f.txt ./txt/cord-343206-9tqivs5f.txt
