impact of ultrasounds on wildlife

[Gianni Pavan <>]

Hi all,

     I'm doing a review to evaluate the possible impacts of ultrasonic deterrents used in natural habitats and agricultural lands to keep wild boars away. My interest is in understanding the possible impacts on bats, however, the wide usage of these deterrents may also have an impact on other animals, including insects and rodents. 

I'd appreciate it if you can suggest literature references about studied or potential impacts, also considering theoretical approaches based on the hearing sensitivity of potential receivers.

Any hint or comment is welcome,

at present, I can't do field work because of the epidemy, and thus I have to focus on literature review for now.

with my warmest regards in this difficult period,

Gianni Pavan
