Population Dynamics and Foraging Behavior of Gray Bats in Pittsburg, Ks
… 1998. A recapture was performed on 8 August via mist net and 9 August by harp trap. The percent of banded bats recaptured by mist net of 3.73 (15.91% of the total captures) and 1.60 (5.60% of the total captures) in the trap. Juveniles accounted for 19.32% of the captured bats in mist tents and …

Changes in avian diversity and potential invasive seed dispersal post-wildfire in a Southeastern deciduous forest; Flipper Bend Woods, Signal Mountain, Tennessee
… species in a burned and unburned site. Using mist-nets, line-transects, and vegetation analysis, this study found that though the unburned site was higher in avian diversity, the burned site appeared to be suitable habitat for multiple disturbance-dependent avian species. There was no evidence …

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
… in Namibia. Live bats were sampled using Dinier mist nets, biometrically processed and the species identifications were morphologically and molecularly determined. Blood and organ tissue samples were collected from live and sacrificed bats respectively, and they were molecularly screened for …

The Effects of Hackberry Psyllids on Refueling Migratory Songbirds and Autumnal Seed Rain
… like insects and fruits. I captured birds with mist nets, observed foraging behaviors, and captured avian-dispersed fleshy fruit seeds (hereafter, seed rain) rain during the autumn of 2016 and 2017 to determine how hackberry psyllids, an ephemerally abundant insect, affect migrating songbird …

Avifauna and Anthropogenic Forest Disturbance in Two Biodiversity Hotspots.
… that point count methods are more effective than mist-nets for describing cloud forest bird communities. Research also shows that many Wallacean species are tolerant of moderate habitat disturbance, although endemic species are sensitive to heavy disturbance. Cloud forest endemics appear to be …

Assessment of animal diversity in Pulau Tinggi, Mersing, Johor for conservation and indicator for potential wildlife tourism
… surveys were used in the herpetofauna survey. Mist nets were used in bats, while cage traps and camera traps were used for other mammals on the island. Pitfall traps, light traps, and hand catching methods were used for insects. Wildlife sampling were conducted from February 2019 to October …

Non-chemical control of the Red-billed Quelea (Quelea Quelea) and use of the birds as a food resource
… was investigated. Two traps using very large nets, based on designs used successfully to catch birds in Tunisia and the USA, failed with quelea; but success was achieved with four other methods. With traditional basket traps made of grass, an average of 286 birds could be caught per trap per …
