Day-roosting Social Ecology of the Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and the Endangered Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis)
… northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) maternity colonies on the Fort Knox military reservation, Kentucky, USA, resulted in formation of non-random networks of roosts that exhibited a trend toward centralization. Centralization of day-roost networks was reflected in the social structure …

Effects of Echolocation Calls on the Interactions of Bat Pairs using Transfer Entropy Analysis
… of bat pairs flying together. Field data from a maternity colony of gray bats (Myotis grisescens) were collected using an array of cameras and microphones. These data were analyzed using the information theoretic measure of transfer entropy in order to quantify the interaction between pairs of …

The ecology of eastern small-footed bats at Shenandoah National Park
… distributions and abundance within their range, maternity habits, and thermoregulatory strategies. Broadly rare, eastern small-footed bats appear to be largely localized to mountainous habitats that feature their preferred roosting habitat, emergent rock features and talus slopes. Following …

Intersexual roost site selection by the little brown Myotis in Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan
… females were observed roosting in a known maternity colony consisting of several anthropogenic structures more than males. In terms of natural roosts, my results suggest that little brown Myotis are roosting mostly in white spruce in Cypress Hills, SK though the characteristics of these …

Ecology of northern long-eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) in a coastal setting after the introduction of White-nose Syndrome
… dynamics of a coastal northern long-eared bat maternity colony on Long Island, New York. I found that northern long-eared bat colonies have larger spatial footprints in – and a moderate tolerance for – forests in anthropogenically-developed areas than previously believed, though many natural …

Bat Resource Utilization Along the Potomac River Corridor in Maryland
… of 2022, I radio-tagged little brown bats from a maternity colony along the Potomac River in Maryland and collected bearings on nine individuals using fixed station telemetry from sunset until bats returned to the maternity roost. Location estimates were obtained from both single and …

Spatial Ecology and Conservation Strategies for the Endangered Northern Long-Eared Bat (<i>Myotis septentrionalis</i>) in a Post-White-Nose Syndrome Landscape
… landscape. In this dissertation, I explored maternity colony home range size and habitat selection, both coastal and interior seasonal activity patterns, habitat suitability, and species occupancy trends in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States. Research from the Coastal Plain of …

Local impacts of White-nose Syndrome on the foraging ecology of insectivorous bats
… in May and August of 2011 and 2016 from a maternity colony of Corynorhinus rafinesquii and stored in 95% ethanol at -80°C. Insect DNA was extracted on a per–pellet basis and amplified by PCR; reaction parameters and reagent quantities were experimentally manipulated to determine optimal …
