Evening Bats Captured in a Managed Wildlife Refuge Used Trees in a Human-Dominated Landscape as Maternity Roosts

Diurnal Roosts of Male Evening Bats (Nycticeius humeralis) in Diversely Managed Pine-Hardwood Forests

—We examined attributes of 45 roost sites used by 17 adult male evening bats (Nycticeius humeralis) in a diverse forested landscape within the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas. Bats roosted in a diverse array of substrates, including live or dead Pinus echinata $15 cm diam at breast height (29% of roosts) and small (,10 cm) understory or midstory hardwoods (20% of roosts). Sixty-three percent of ro...

Wildlife Use of Managed Forests - a Landscape Perspective

Quantitative comparison of tree roosts used by red bats ( Lasiurus borealis ) and Semindle bats (

We radio-tracked 11 red bats and 5 Seminole bats (L. seminolus) to 64 and 34 day roosts, ! respectively. Individuals of both species were found roosting within the canopy of the roost trees, clinging to leaf petioles or the tips of small branches (~4 cm in diameter). Red bats roosted primarily in hardwoods (970/o), whereas the roosts of Seminole bats were located primarily in pines (94%). Ten o...

Roost selection by male and female northern long-eared bats in a pine-dominated landscape

We radiotracked 17 male northern long-eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) to 43-day roosts and 23 females to 49-day roosts in the Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas during summers 2000–2005. We compared characteristics of roost trees between males and females, and compared characteristics of sites surrounding roosts with random locations for each sex. Roosts were located in cavities, crevic...
