Many regions confront potentially competing goals: sustaining biological diversity and
extracting wood products from forests rich in biological diversity. Forests of the Pacific …

Public and private land managers increasingly are being asked to consider habitat. needs of
bats (Chiroptera) when planning forest management activities. However, reliability of current …

The decision where to live has far-reaching fitness consequences for animals. In contrast to
most other mammals or birds that use sheltered nest sites, female Bechstein's bats …

We used radiotelemetry to quantify roost switching and assess associations between
members of maternity colonies of forest-dwelling big brown bats. Bats remained loyal to …

Summary 1 Cavity quality is important for the productivity and survival of many species of
tree‐dwelling wildlife. Intensive land management practices, such as logging and …

Nest or roost temperature (T roost) is thought to impact reproductive fitness in many
endotherms but few studies have directly tested the hypothesis that naturally occurring …

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 …

Over the past 2 decades, we have begun to accumulate a basic understanding of the
roosting and foraging ecology of temperate insectivorous bats in forests. As our …

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 …
