Like dispersal and migration, short-term movement between roosts or dens is potentially
costly. If such behavior is adaptive, these costs should be balanced by benefits associated …

Insectivorous bats are integral components of terrestrial ecosystems. Despite this, a growing
number of factors causing world‐wide declines in bat populations have been identified …

Mist netting bats at 11 sites in the vicinity of Akumal, Mexico between 7 and 19 January 1991
produced 363 bats representing 20 species. A comparison of captures revealed significant …

The conservation implications of some recent advances in our knowledge about the ecology
and behavior of bats are presented. A central question facing bat biologists is the relative …

We used radiotelemetry to examine the roost-site preferences of four species of tree-roosting
bats (Eptesicus fuscus, Lasionycteris noctivagans, Myotis evotis, and M. volans) in southern …

Les rives sont généralement considérées comme d'importantes zones d'alimentation pour
les chauves-souris insectivores, mais cette supposition n'a jamais été formellement vérifiée …

In aspen mixedwood forests, habitats that provide roosting and foraging sites for bats likely
occur in old stands and thus may be threatened by logging. To determine if bats prefer …

Bats spend more time roosting than in any other activity. Thus, it is not surprising that some
researchers have argued that roost availability influences the diversity of bat communities …

We investigated roost selection by Barbastella barbastellus in a mountainous area of central
Italy. Twenty-five bats, mostly lactating females, were radio-tracked to 33 roost trees. Trees in …

To assess habitat use by foraging bats in southern British Columbia, Canada, we used
narrow band bat detectors and estimated insect availability with light-suction traps. We …
