Roost-Site Selection of Bats in Northeast Missouri With Emphasis on the Endangered Indiana Bat (Myotis Sodalis)
… and fitness. I used radiotelemetry to study the roosting ecology of the endangered Indiana bat, Myotis sodalis, at Deer Ridge Conservation Area (DRCA) in northeast Missouri from May through August 2001-2002. Due to the similarities in roost-site characteristics of forest-dwelling species of bat, …

Unraveling Ecological Effects on Social Behavior. Insights from Tent-roosting Bats
… have divergent evolutionary origins but similar roosting habits, suggesting convergence in roost use. These characteristics make this group an ideal system to test hypotheses regarding effects of ecological and environmental factors in evolution and stability of social groups. Thus, my objectives …

Day-roosting Social Ecology of the Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and the Endangered Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis)
… appeared to be exclusive, occupying distinct roosting areas with one or several areas receiving intense use. Day-roost removal simulations suggested a linear relationship between colony fragmentation and roost loss, and that loss of >20% of roosts is required to initiate colony fragmentation. …

Molecular screening of potential bat-borne hantavirus and determination of species richness and composition of bats in selected habitats within the woodland and savanna biomes in Namibia
… indicating the importance of bridges to the roosting ecology and hence conservation of the species. Since no hantavirus could be detected, future detection of hantavirus and to gain more insights into our understanding of in situ patterns of bat species richness and composition may require …

Environmental factors influencing the distribution of bats (Chiroptera) in South Africa
… to use human structures or domesticated crops as roosting sites. Roost availability thus appeared to be an important factor limiting the distribution of bats. The distribution of only one South African bat species, the endemic Rhinolophus capensis, was associated with a biome as being the most …

Bats and trees in a managed forest
… American bat species rely heavily on forests for roosting and foraging habitat. Especially in the face of drastic population declines, understanding how forests can be managed to support local bat assemblages is crucial for bat conservation. We worked in two managed hardwood state forests in …
