Bat Boxes as Mitigation Tools: Factors Impacting Microclimate and Myotis sodalis Roost Selection
… has led to declines in available natural roosting habitat for bats. To mitigate this loss, practitioners often deploy artificial roosts (e.g., bat boxes). There are no established species-specific practices for deployment strategy and roost design selection, but occupancy rates are known …

Community ecology of bats in southern lower Michigan, with emphasis on roost selection by myotis
<p>I studied the roosting niche of 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 …

Intersexual roost site selection by the little brown Myotis in Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan
Roost structures provide habitats for bats to engage in critical life processes. Identifying, characterizing, and conserving these structures is crucial for individual fitness and survival to mitigate population loss, especially for species such as the little brown Myotis facing threats such as …

Vocalizations influence roost-site selection in overwintering cavity-nesting birds in Eastern Washington
… They increase overwinter survival by night roosting in cavities and forming flocks. The timing of roost site selection can impact the quality of a roost site, thus selecting a roost site too late reduces the odds of selecting the most favorable microclimate available. Birds in flocks use …

The ecology of eastern small-footed bats at Shenandoah National Park
… habitats that feature their preferred roosting habitat, emergent rock features and talus slopes. Following initial reports of mortality from the bat epidemic white-nose syndrome, eastern small-footed bats were reviewed for protection under the endangered species act but were rejected …

Day-roosting Social Ecology of the Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and the Endangered Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis)
Day-roost use by 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 …
