Roosting Time A Collection of Short Stories.
Literature is a record of moments to be remembered. What is life but moments, clock ticks and stimuli which fall jumbled, chaotic, meaningless upon the five human sensory organs? Fiction attempts to encapsulate certain moments, and although occasionally the moments recorded may appear to …

Unraveling Ecological Effects on Social Behavior. Insights from Tent-roosting Bats
… have divergent evolutionary origins but similar roosting habits, suggesting convergence in roost use. These characteristics make this group an ideal system to test hypotheses regarding effects of ecological and environmental factors in evolution and stability of social groups. Thus, my objectives …

The ecology and conservation of cave roosting bats in the Yorkshire Dales
The caves of the Yorkshire Dales National Park are potentially an important assemblage of underground bat sites, but prior to this study nothing was known about the ecology of cave use. Between 2002 and 2005,53 cave entrances were logged for swarming activity using automated echolocation call …

Roosting Habitat and Poult Survival of Merriam's Turkeys in the Southern Black Hills of South Dakota
… main objectives of this project were to evaluate roosting habitat and poult survival of Merriam's turkeys in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota. Wild turkey females were captured during the winters of 2001 and 2002 and fitted with radiotransmitters to determine roost sites and assess poult …

A Comparison of Summer and Winter Roosting Habitat and Behavior of Evening Bats (Nycticeius Humeralis) in Missouri
… in the subcanopy. I also report interesting roosting behaviors utilized by N. humeralis, including the use of a subterranean roost by one individual during the winter.

Day-roosting Social Ecology of the Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and the Endangered Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis)
… appeared to be exclusive, occupying distinct roosting areas with one or several areas receiving intense use. Day-roost removal simulations suggested a linear relationship between colony fragmentation and roost loss, and that loss of >20% of roosts is required to initiate colony fragmentation. …

Assessment of Culverts and Bridges as Roosting Habitat for Perimyotis subflavus (tri-colored bat) and Disease Transmission Corridors for Pseudogymnoascus destructans
… habitat, such as interstate culverts, for roosting. To investigate their use of anthropogenic structures in coastal Georgia, an area where <em>P. destructans</em> has yet-to-be detected, comprehensive bridge and culvert surveys were conducted during the hibernation season. Over 140 swabs of …

Bats and trees in a managed forest
… American bat species rely heavily on forests for roosting and foraging habitat. Especially in the face of drastic population declines, understanding how forests can be managed to support local bat assemblages is crucial for bat conservation. We worked in two managed hardwood state forests in …

Bald eagle habitat use on B. Everett Jordan Lake and Falls Lake, North Carolina
I examined the roosting and perching habitat preferences of a nonbreeding population of bald eagles in North Carolina during 1986 and 1987. I characterized roosting habitat at 2 scales; those of forest stands and individual roost trees. Eagles chose roost areas that were less dense, had less canopy …

Assessment Of Natural Roost Availability And Artificial Roost Preference By Indiana Bats In Scott County, Kentucky
… artificial roost types alongside natural roosting options. I sought to analyze roost use on a landscape with multiple roost types and determine the effects of reproductive condition on roost type and canopy closure selection. I also characterized the forest overstory composition and …

Roost-Site Selection of Bats in Northeast Missouri With Emphasis on the Endangered Indiana Bat (Myotis Sodalis)
… and fitness. I used radiotelemetry to study the roosting ecology of the endangered Indiana bat, Myotis sodalis, at Deer Ridge Conservation Area (DRCA) in northeast Missouri from May through August 2001-2002. Due to the similarities in roost-site characteristics of forest-dwelling species of bat, …

Thermoregulation and behavior of a peripheral population of evening bats (<i>nycticeius humeralis</i>)
… to measure body temperatures of tree-roosting evening bats (<em>Nycticeius humeralis</em>) at the northern edge of their range in Lenawee Co., Michigan. Temperature at sunset, diurnal temperature, and nocturnal temperature significantly correlated with use of torpor, whereas ambient …

Intersexual roost site selection by the little brown Myotis in Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan
… bats. I found individuals of both sexes roosting in anthropogenic structures, though nonreproductive 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 …

Black and turkey vulture roost dynamics, marking, morphology and nesting in Virginia
… atratus) and turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) roosting dynamics were studied at eight roosts near Radford, Virginia. Black vulture numbers at a permanent roost ranged from low monthly means in June 1982 and 1983 to peak monthly means in December 1981 and 1982. Turkey vulture numbers ranged from …

The ecology of eastern small-footed bats at Shenandoah National Park

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 …

Investigating biometrics of Perimyotis subflavus in traditional and nontraditional hibernacula in the Southeastern United States as it relates to susceptibility to white-nose syndrome.
… manmade structures like culverts and bridges for roosting by several bat species. The internal environment of these anthropogenic structures is influenced by external temperature and humidity differently than caves and may influence <em>P. subflavus</em> winter activity, and thus susceptibility to …
