Abstract
⺠European windfarms kill large numbers of bats at night. ⺠We used hydrogen stable isotopes to model the provenance of these bats. ⺠German windfarms kill bats from both local and distant populations. ⺠National regulations for establishing windfarms do not take this into account. ⺠Measures are urgently needed to mitigate the large-scale negative effects on bats.
