Multi-scale roost-site selection by evening bats on pine-dominated landscapes in Southwest Georgia

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the day-roost selection of evening bats (Nycticeius humeralis) at multiple scales in mature longleaf (Pinus palustirs; natural) and intensely managed loblolly pine (P.taeda; managed) landscapes in the Gulf Coastal Plain of Georgia, USA. It was found that the evening bats in the natural habitats with more number of rooting structures, selected day-roosts with favorable landscape features like nearness to water and foraging sites and benefits like less traveling costs while the bats on the managed sites chose day-roosts only at the tree and plot scale.

Indiana bats in the Midwest: The importance of hydric habitats

Article Abstract:

The maternity colonies of the endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) requires very specific habitats to provide the required day-roosting and foraging resources during the spring and summer months throughout its distribution in the eastern United States. The conservation efforts for the Indiana bats should be directed on preserving and regenerating bottomland habitat along the major rivers in the Midwestern US, as the maternity colonies would be built in these bottomland and riparian habitats.

Summer habitat use and home range analysis of the endangered Indiana bat

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the home-range size of male and female Indiana bats in a mixed agricultural, wooded midwestern landscape. The home ranges of 7 females and 4 male Indiana bats from May to August 1987-1988 were tracked and determined.
