Utilizing Acoustic Methods to Identify Bat Species, and to Assess Their Habitat Use and Perception of Owls
… owls. I acoustically surveyed for bats using an Anabat detector to determine the presence of bat species within a protected area of the Oak Openings Region. I identified the files to species then compared my identification to those of two identification programs. Each program was consistent in …

Spatial and predictive foraging models for gray bats in northwest Georgia and a comparison of two acoustical bat survey techniques
… I determined gray bat presence/absence with Anabat II acoustic bat detectors in potential foraging areas near 2 bachelor colonies in northwest Georgia. In 2000, I systematically sampled 213 locations near water sources over an 8.3 x 9.4 km sampling grid that was established over a 5,100 km2 …

Bat Species Diversity in Old-Growth vs. Second Growth Forests in Lilley Cornett Woods, Letcher County, Kentucky
… nightly and continuously for 85 nights. Anabat II ultrasonic bat detectors with ZCAIM units were deployed in old-growth and second growth forest locations for two week sampling periods (23 sampling locations; 14 in old-growth and 9 in second growth). There were 34,536 identified …

Assessing the impacts of white-nose syndrome induced mortality on the monitoring of a bat community at Fort Drum Military Installation
… I implemented intensive acoustic sampling using Anabat detectors at Fort Drum to develop a summer acoustic monitoring protocol that is both cost efficient and effective at detecting species of high conservation or management interest, such as the Indiana bat and the little brown bat (Myotis …

The Effects of Prescribed Fire on Bat Activity in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways
… (ONSR), located in south central Missouri. Anabat II bat detectors were used to passively sample bat presence or probable absence within four habitat types between burned and unburned areas (n=214). Standardized mist-net surveys were also conducted to physically documents presence of bat …

Habitat Use of Urban Bats in Springfield, Missouri
<p>During the summers of 1998-2000, the Anabat II bat detector system was placed in a mosaic of habitats within Springfield, Missouri and surrounding rural areas in southern Missouri to compare the activity indices of nine bat species between urban and rural environments. A total of 1,876 …

Activities Within a Myotine Bat Community With Emphasis on the Endangered Indiana Bat, Myotis Sodalis
… yielding 46,588 bat echolocation calls using Anabat II bat detectors. A nested sampling design was used with five habitat types which include upland and lowland sites within each habitat. Calls were identified to species using a linear discriminate function analysis and a library of known …

Bat occupancy of forests and managed savanna and woodland in the Missouri Ozark Region
… succeeded to more closed canopy forest. We used Anabat detectors to survey bats during August 2010, May to July 2011, and May to June 2012. We fit single-season occupancy models for each species. We evaluated a priori hypotheses in an information theoretic approach by first evaluating factors …

Assessing the effects of prescribed fire on foraging bats at Mammoth Cave National Park after the arrival of White-nose Syndrome
… using transects of acoustic detectors (Anabat II and Songmeter SM3). Recordings were classified to phonic groups (low, mid, Myotis) and species using automated classifiers (Bat Call Id v.2.7c and Kaleidoscope Pro v.3.1.4B). Subsequent analyses were conducted using bat passes with 5 ≤ …

Assessing the Long-term Impacts of White-nose Syndrome on Bat Communities Using Acoustic Surveys at Fort Drum Military Installation
With declines in abundance and changing distribution of White-nose Syndrome (WNS)-affected bat species, increased reliance on acoustic monitoring is now the new "normal". As such, the ability to accurately identify individual bat species with acoustic identification programs has become increasingly …

Bat Habitat Ecology Using Remote Acoustical Detectors at the Army National Guard Maneuver Training Center - Fort Pickett, Blackstone, Virginia
Bats occupy diverse and unique niches and are regarded as important components in maintaining ecosystem health. They are major consumers of nocturnal insects, serve as pollinators, seed disperser, and provide important economic benefits as consumers of agricultural and forest pest insects. Bats …
