Linear features can benefit wildlife by assisting animal movement. We captured bats along barbed‐wire and live‐tree fences connecting tropical dry forest patches in Nicaragua. Bat species richness and captures were higher along live fences but we noted differences in sex ratios, richness, and species composition compared to surrounding natural forests.

蝙蝠使用活动围栏在热带干燥森林残留物之间移动

线性特征可以通过帮助动物运动来使野生生物受益。我们在连接尼加拉瓜的热带干旱森林斑块的铁丝网和活树篱笆上捕获了蝙蝠。沿围栏的蝙蝠物种丰富度和捕获率较高，但我们注意到与周围的天然林相比，性别比，丰富度和物种组成存在差异。
