Detailed information about three-dimensional vegetation structure proves increasingly
useful for studying species-habitat relationships in forest ecosystems. This particularly …

Three-dimensional structure of vegetation plays a key role in animal ecology and the arrival
of LiDAR technologies has given ecologists the ability to understand species-habitat …

The ability to fully evaluate potential relationships between forest management and bats is
limited without information from relevant spatial scales. Further, knowledge of bat ecology in …

Across the Southeastern US, including the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee, prescribed
fire and overstory thinning are being used to restore areas of closed-canopy hardwood …

Over half of the world's forests are secondary regrowth and support considerable
biodiversity. Thinning of these forests is a widespread management practice that can affect …

Echolocation provides an acoustic window on the behavior of most species of bats. Donald
R. Griffin's book (Listening in the Dark: The Acoustic Orientation of Bats and Men) gave us a …

Bats are a critical component of most terrestrial systems, yet accurately assessing species
richness and abundances remains a challenge. The use of acoustic monitoring has …

As the federally threatened northern long-eared bat Myotis septentrionalis continues to
decline due to white-nose syndrome (WNS) impacts, the application of effective …

Given the likelihood of regional extirpation of several once-common bat species in eastern
North America from white-nose syndrome, it is critical that the impacts of forest management …

Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis) are capable of exploiting ephemeral resources in structurally
complex, interior forests. Consequently, surveying for this species is difficult, and even in …
