Many bird and mammal species rely on cavities in trees to rear their young or roost.
Favourable cavity sites are usually created by fungi, so they are more common in older …

Continued declines in North American bat populations can be largely attributed to habitat
loss, disease, and wind turbines. These declines can be partially mitigated through actions …

Bat boxes are commonly deployed to mitigate the loss of bat roosting habitat. Due to a
dearth of microclimate research, numerous untested commercially available bat boxes, and …

Abstract The Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), a species that is federally endangered in the US,
is being impacted by white-nose syndrome and habitat loss across much of its range. A …

Forest roosting bats use a variety of ephemeral roosts such as snags and declining live
trees. Although conservation of summer maternity habitat is considered critical for forest …

Social dynamics are an important but poorly understood aspect of bat ecology. Herein we
use a combination of graph theoretic and spatial approaches to describe the roost and …

Abstract Context Conservation for the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), a federally endangered
species in the United States of America, is typically focused on local maternity sites; …

Conservation of bat species is one of the most daunting wildlife conservation challenges in
North America, requiring detailed knowledge about their ecology to guide conservation …

Temperate zone bats may be more sensitive to climate change than other groups of
mammals because many aspects of their ecology are closely linked to temperature …

Context Bat conservation in the eastern United States faces threats from white nose
syndrome, wind energy, and fragmentation of habitat. To mitigate population declines, the …
