Bats in Forests

Book Description
Although bats are often thought of as cave dwellers, many species depend on forests for all or part of the year. Of the 45 species of bats in North America, more than half depend on forests, using the bark of trees, tree cavities, or canopy foliage as roosting sites. Over the past two decades it has become increasingly clear that bat conservation and management are strongly linked to the health of forests within their range. Initially driven by concern for endangered species—the Indiana bat, for example—forest ecologists, timber managers, government agencies, and conservation organizations have been altering management plans and silvicultural practices to better accommodate bat species. Bats in Forests presents the work of a variety of experts who address many aspects of the ecology and conservation of bats. The chapter authors describe bat behavior, including the selection of roosts, foraging patterns, and seasonal migration as they relate to forests. They also discuss forest management and its influence on bat habitat. Both public lands and privately owned forests are considered, as well as techniques for monitoring bat populations and activity. The important role bats play in the ecology of forests—from control of insects to nutrient recycling—is revealed by a number of authors. Bat ecologists, bat conservationists, forest ecologists, and forest managers will find in this book an indispensable synthesis of the topics that concern them.

Using Occupancy Estimates to Assess Habitat Use and Interspecific Interactions of the Indiana Bat (Myotis Sodalis) and Little Brown Bat (M. Lucifugus) in Northeast Missouri

Book Description
The Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) has been endangered since 1967 and is the focus of a controversial debate among stakeholders on both public and private lands due to a lack due to a lack of understanding the summer habitat needs of the species. In addition, even less is known about interspecific interactions with other bats and if this could be playing a role in the decline of this species. Our objectives were to estimate the probability of site occupancy for the Indiana bat and the little brown bat (M. lucifugus) from which we could model their summer habitat suitability. We then used our occupancy modeling estimates to determine whether the knowledge of the little brown bat's (M. lucifugus) landscape occupancy patterns improved the fit of Indiana bat occupancy models and vice versa. We used an information theoretic approach to examine a priori hypotheses relative to both probability of detection and site occupancy using an objective model selection criterion to rank the candidate models. For the Indiana bat the quantity of bottomland hardwood forest in a 7 km landscape was the single most significant factor in determining Indiana bat occupancy. For the little brown bat, site combined with distance to water and canopy cover created the top model determining little brown bat occupancy. Combined information of both species' occupancy patterns did not improve the probability of either species' occupancy.
