Fire is increasingly being used in oak forests to promote oak regeneration, improve wildlife
habitat, and reduce hazardous fuel loads. Although recent research has begun to shed light …

Forest edges often have increased species richness and abundance (edge effect) and affect
spatial behaviors of species and dynamics of species interactions. Landscapes of …

We actively sampled the bat community at 63 sites using detection and non-detection
metrics on the Fernow Experimental Forest (FEF) in the central Appalachians of West …

Abstract Changes in structure and arrangement of forests may influence the distribution of
bat communities by affecting roosting and foraging habitat. Using Anabat bat detectors, we …

Forests are one of the most important habitats for insectivorous bats as they offer the
potential for both roosting and foraging. We reviewed silvicultural literature from North …

The fragmentation of forests by the expansion of agriculture is recognized as an important
factor influencing worldwide declines of forest-dependent species. Species that are forest …

Prescribed fire is becoming a common management tool for restoring forests of North
America; however, effects of prescribed fire on forest-dwelling bats remain unclear. During …

In recent years, interest in the ecology of bats and the influences of forest management on
bat populations has increased substantially. This interest stems from the interplay of …

We used Anabat acoustical monitoring devices to examine bat activity in intact canopy
forests, complex canopy forests with gaps, forests subjected to diameter-limit harvests …

We examined the relationship between bat species activity and composition and the extent
of forest cover and urbanization in and adjacent to 11 US National Park Service, National …
