European bats are insectivorous animals able to control arthropod pests in agricultural crops. However, their role in heterogeneous landscapes remains poorly known. In this article, we analyse bats’ diet through arthropod DNA-metabarcoding from their faecal samples in a bocage landscape of Asturias, N Spain. We compared the occurrence of different pest species in different bat species and seasons across the year. We identified up to 191 pest species in bat diets potentially affecting a wide range of crops. Overall, bats consistently consumed agricultural pests throughout the year, though we observed some seasonal variation in pest richness and composition. There was some overlap in pest consumption among the three bat species, although they also showed clear differences in the specific pest taxa consumed. These findings suggest an intense and resilient service of pest control provided by the bat community. Read the whole paper in Journal of Pest Science!
