Bats have perceived smooth horizontal surfaces as water bodies and smooth vertical surfaces as open flyways. However, we know little about the ecological consequences of this phenomenon in natural and artificial environment to bats. This project is focusing on the direct and indirect effects of opto-acoustic mirrors on bats from four level of interest, which are physical, sensory, ecological, and conservation. The study of this topic is urgent due to the increasing number of artificial smooth surfaces around us.
