Ecophysiology of Hibernating Eastern Red Bats (Lasiurus Borealis)
Many bats utilize torpor mechanisms to conserve energy during daily rest or seasonal periods of inactivity. Seasonal torpor (hibernation) allows bats to avoid thermoregulatory costs of extreme conditions. Unlike other temperate hibernating bats, eastern red bats (Lasiurus borealis) do not utilize …

Red Bat Movement Response to an Ultrasonic Acoustic Deterrent in Flight Cage Trials: Implications for Reducing Bat Fatalities at Wind Facilities
… source. To date, results from strategies to reduce bat fatalities have been inconsistent among species or too expensive to implement. Ultrasonic acoustic deterrents (UADs) are designed to create a disorienting airspace around wind turbines by emitting sounds that jam bat echolocation calls; …

Activity and diet of bats in apple orchards of southern Michigan
<p>I studied activity and diet of bats in apple orchards in southern Michigan. There was no difference between organic and conventional orchards in number and composition of insects captured with light traps, number of bats captured with mist nets, or number of acoustic files of bat activity that …

Community ecology of bats in southern lower Michigan, with emphasis on roost selection by myotis
… Lower Michigan over long periods. Little brown bats roosted in buildings, whereas northern and Indiana bats used trees. Northern and Indiana bats differed primarily in species of tree used, whether the tree was living or dead, and use of cavities or loose bark. There were no differences among …

The Influence of Weather and Geographic Location on Reproduction and Nightly Activity of Bats in Missouri
… insect prey density and time reproductive bats must spend torpid. Capture data from 6,767 bats representing 12 species from 28 counties and 360 sites, were used to examine the influence of precipitation, temperature, and latitude on reproduction of bats in Missouri. Although both cool …

Assessing the relationships between pollinator-friendly plantings and birds, bats and white-tailed deer on farms in the Coastal Plain of Virginia and Maryland
… (Meleagris gallopavo)), resident and migratory bats, and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are of interest to both landowners and conservation managers. First, we studied bird species diversity, presence, density, and nesting on farms planted with and without pollinator-friendly …

Northern long-eared bat day roost ecology and novel bat sampling techniques in the mid-Atlantic
… in bat populations including the now endangered northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis; NLEB). Remnant populations of NLEB have been found outside their traditional range in areas of the urbanized Piedmont and also the Coastal Plain of the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, …

North American Tree Bat (Genera: Lasiurus, Lasionycteris) Migration on the Mid-Atlantic Coast—Implications and Discussion for Current and Future Offshore Wind Development
In eastern North America, "tree bats" (Genera: Lasiurus and Lasionycteris) are highly susceptible to collisions with wind energy turbines and are known to fly offshore during migration. This raises concern about ongoing expansion of offshore wind-energy development off the Atlantic Coast. Season, …
