A: In some datasets, both total change and annual change were already estimated and were used without further manipulation.<br />
B: In other datasets, one <strong>of</strong> these, plus information about the study duration, was available and could be used to estimate the other.<br />
C: A third group <strong>of</strong> datasets contain annual estimates for each species and total change and annual change were calculated from these.<br />
D: The mean <strong>of</strong> the last five years and the mean <strong>of</strong> the first five years were used instead <strong>of</strong> the first and last years, in order to smooth between-year variation.<br />
E: Most bat species are monitored using two survey methods. We took the average long-term change per species and calculated the associated mean average annual change.<br />
