Book Description
From 29 June 1981, through 14 August 1981, fifty five trap nights and four monitor nights on the Big River and its tributaries within the Pine Ford Study Area resulted in the capture of 393 bats of ten species. High mist nets that spanned the river from bank to bank and extended from water level to a height of 7.5 meters were used. Ultrasonic monitors were used to document bat activity levels at net sites and to assess the presence of myotine bats in areas that could not be netted. Activity patterns and capture times of different species appeared to be related to the presence of mayfly hatches. The red bat (Lasiurus borealis), was the most common bat captured, comprising fifty-four percent of the total sample. Two federally endangered species, the Indiana bat, (Myotis sodalis) and the gray bat, (Myotis grisescens), also were captured, comprising 2.3 percent and 1.5 percent of the total sample, respectively. Of the nine M. sodalis captured, all were adult males except for two adult females. One lactating female M. sodalis was captured on 1 July and a post-lactating female M. sodalis was captured on 22 July. Of six M. grisescens captured, all were adult males except for one juvenile female captured on 12 August.

The Indiana Bat, Myotis Sodalis

Book Description
The Indiana bat, Myotis sodalis, is classified by the Department of Interior as an endangered species. In developing a plan that will enable the recovery of the bat from its endangered predicament, an extensive search was made for literature concerning the species. This compilation is intended as an aid to biologists and conservationists interested in the animal and its habitats; it is hoped the bibliography will serve as a directory to available information and assist in research efforts on the animal. An attempt has been made to include reports and papers dealing with all aspects of the species, and, therefore, a number of papers included that have not been published. Each numbered item in the bibliography has been read and its contents indexed and cross referenced by subject.

Book Description
The federally endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) uses fragmented forests in largely agricultural landscapes during the maternity season. Understanding how land use and land management affect bat activity and insect prey availability would provide insight into resource needs of Indiana bats. We had three main objectives, first to determine resource selection by foraging Indiana bats during the maternity season and to compare resource use among pregnant and lactating individuals. Second, we sought to estimate home range size using utilization distributions for individual Indiana bats. Finally, we wanted to determine if we could predict Indiana bat activity by using habitat, weather, and prey availability data within our study area. We used an information theoretic approach to examine a priori models for our first and third objective. To evaluate our second objective, we used telemetry data to calculate the area within 50% and 95% probability contours of utilization distributions estimated by the fixed kernel method. We found variation among individuals in resource selection and home range size. Indiana bat activity was higher in areas managed by prescribed fire and with high percent canopy cover, and at sites with higher dry insect biomass collected in malaise traps. We believe prescribed fire benefitted bats by reducing understory clutter. In contrast, forest management practices that greatly reduce canopy cover may have a negative impact on Indiana bats.
