Activities Within a Myotine Bat Community With Emphasis on the Endangered Indiana Bat, Myotis Sodalis
The steady decline of the endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and its interactions with other congeners are not adequately understood. A study area in northeast Missouri was identified during a survey in 2000 and found to host one of the largest M. sodalis maternity populations ever found, as …

Life history, diversity and patterns of bat community structure in the Spring Mountains of southern Nevada
This study investigated the bat community of the Spring Mountains of southern Nevada from June 1992 through September 1994. Distributions, life history and general ecological attributes of fourteen species of bats were summarized. Thirteen species were present in low to mid elevations, ten species …

Assessing the impacts of white-nose syndrome induced mortality on the monitoring of a bat community at Fort Drum Military Installation
… the northeastern U.S. in 2006, several affected bat species have exhibited marked population declines (> 90%). For areas such as Fort Drum in northern New York that are subject to regulatory mandates because of the presence of the endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), acoustic monitoring is …

Long-Term Effects of Forest Harvesting on Habitat Use By Insectivorous Bats
… effects of forest harvesting on forest-dwelling bats have received considerable attention. However, knowledge about the long-term effects are also essential to better conserve forest-dwelling bat populations in North America. As vegetation regenerates over time post-harvest, changes created by …

The relative influence of competition and coevolution on the community structure of insectivorous bats in Southern Africa
… rather than abiotic filters should influence the community structure of animals such as insectivorous bats with life histories characterized by low fecundity. low predation risk. long life expectancy, and stable populations. I investigated the relative influence of biotic filters on various …

Community ecology of bats in southern lower Michigan, with emphasis on roost selection by myotis
… three sympatric species of Myotis (little brown bat, M. lucifugus; northern bat, M. septentrionalis; and Indiana bat, M. sodalis) and examined changes in composition of the entire bat community in southern Lower Michigan over long periods. Little brown bats roosted in buildings, whereas northern …

Quantifying Resource Use Among Insectivorous Bat Species with Overlapping Distributions
<p>Bats make up 20% of all mammalian species, are globally distributed, and are the only mammals capable of sustained flight. Bats have adapted to feed on insects, scorpions, aquatic arthropods, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, blood, carrion, fruit, flowers, nectar, pollen, and even …

Profiling Bat Activity and Species Presence in Managed Longleaf Pine Landscapes
… of the longleaf pine (<em>Pinus palustris</em>). Bats inhabit key ecological niches in forest ecosystems, including the longleaf pine ecosystem, and can be indicators of ecosystem condition. This study investigated the effects of current forest management practices and landscape management history …

Impacts of Fire on Bats in the Central Appalachians
… how the re-introduction of fire will affect bat community assemblages, particularly after the severe White-nose Syndrome related population declines of many cave-hibernating bat species. To address this concern we used acoustic detectors to sample bat activity levels in burned and unburned …

How vertebrate communities affect quality and yield of macadamia farms in Levubu, South Africa
… services, especially that of pest control by bats and birds, ecosystem disservices are often overlooked or estimated separately. Both, services and disservices, however, change with landscape and may be supported by natural vegetation. It is hence inevitable to assess them together to uncover …

Ecology of Mid-Atlantic bats after white-nose syndrome: communities, reproduction, and diet within an urban-to-rural gradient
… syndrome (WNS) has reduced the abundance of many bat species within the United States' mid-Atlantic region, including the endangered Indiana (Myotis sodalis), threatened Myotis septentrionalis (northern long-eared bat) and other bats of conservation concern, such as Perimyotis subflavus …
