Influence of climate and reproductive timing on demography of little brown myotis Myotis lucifugus.
1. Estimating variation in demographic rates, such as survival and fecundity, is important for testing life-history theory and identifying conservation and management goals. 2. We used 16 years (1993-2008) of mark-recapture data to estimate age-specific survival and breeding probabilities of the little brown myotis Myotis lucifugus LeConte in southern New Hampshire, USA. Using Kendall & Nichols...
متن کاملEnergy utilization and water requirements of captive Myotis thysanodes and Myotis lucifugus (Chiroptera).
l. Ten captive Myotis thysanodes ingested an average of 5.05 kcal/ day and egested 0.47 kcal/day with a mean energy utilization of 90.8 per cent. 2. One captive M. lucifugus ingested 4.15 kcaljday and egested 0.37 kcal/day with an energy utilization of 91.2 per cent. 3. M. thysanodes gained an average of 2.77 cm3/day of water and lost an average of 2.86 cma/day. This represents a water turnover...
متن کاملSex and hibernaculum temperature predict survivorship in white-nose syndrome affected little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus)
White-nose syndrome (WNS), an emerging infectious disease caused by the novel fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans, has devastated North American bat populations since its discovery in 2006. The little brown myotis, Myotis lucifugus, has been especially affected. The goal of this 2-year captive study was to determine the impact of hibernacula temperature and sex on WNS survivorship in little bro...
متن کاملHibernating Little Brown Myotis (Myotis lucifugus) Show Variable Immunological Responses to White-Nose Syndrome
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is an emerging infectious disease devastating hibernating North American bat populations that is caused by the psychrophilic fungus Geomyces destructans. Previous histopathological analysis demonstrated little evidence of inflammatory responses in infected bats, however few studies have compared other aspects of immune function between WNS-affected and unaffected bats....
متن کاملAcoustic Detection Reveals Fine-Scale Distributions of Myotis lucifugus, Myotis septentrionalis, and Perimyotis subflavus in Eastern Nebraska
—Before white-nose syndrome arrives in Nebraska, it is important to document the preexposure distributions of cave bats in the state. We examined the distributions of Myotis lucifugus (little brown myotis), Myotis septentrionalis (northern long-eared myotis), and Perimyotis subflavus (tri-colored bat) in eastern Nebraska by setting acoustic detectors for a single night at 105 sites in wooded ha...
