Selection of day roosts by red bats in mixed mesophytic forests
Article Abstract:
Red bats have a preference for tall, large-diameter deciduous trees as day roots, and choose mature contiguous forests as roosting habitat. This research, undertaken in the Cumberland Plateau physiographic region of eastern Kentucky, aimed to identify characteristics of day roosts and to compare the habitat linked with day roosts with habitat conditions in surrounding forest. It is suggested that deforestation and forest fragmentation could be long-term dangers to the survival of red bats.

Day-roost characteristics of northern bats in mixed mesophytic forest
Article Abstract:
Research describing day roosting habitat requirements of northern bats is presented. Radio tracking studies show that the bats require diversity in tree species, size and snag class.
