DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3111
Abstract: Abstract In summer, many temperate bat species use daytime torpor, but breeding females do so less to avoid interferences with reproduction. In forest‐roosting bats, deep tree cavities buffer roost microclimate from abrupt temperature oscillations and… read more here.

Social networks based on frequency of roost cohabitation do not reflect association rates of Myotis lucifugus within their roosts

Abstract: Abstract Bats are a group of mammals well known for forming dynamic social groups. Studies of bat social structures are often based upon the frequency at which bats occupy the same roosts because observing bats… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-020-02932-y
Abstract: Bats are a diverse and widespread order of mammals. They fulfill critical ecosystem roles but may also act as reservoirs and spreaders for zoonotic agents. Consequently, many recent studies have focused on the potential of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/zo20033
Abstract: Abstract. The large-footed myotis (Myotis macropus) is a specialist trawling bat with flexible roosting behaviour, being able to switch between caves, tree hollows and artificial roosts such as bridges, tunnels and culverts. However, little is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jmammal/gyab080
Abstract: Tricolored bats (Perimyotis subflavus) that roost in subterranean hibernacula have experienced precipitous declines from white-nose syndrome (WNS); however, understudied populations also use during winter non-subterranean roosts such as tree cavities, bridges, and foliage. Our objectives… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2022-0137
Abstract: Understanding microhabitat use is needed to make sound conservation decisions for at-risk, patchy-habitat specialists. Rock habitats offer unique microclimatic refugia for wildlife. Eastern Small-footed Bats (Myotis leibii (Audubon and Bachman, 1842)) use rock roosts during… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2018.00199
Abstract: The spatiotemporal distribution of females is a major factor affecting animal social systems. Predation risk and the distribution of feeding resources often determine where females are found, but abiotic factors (e.g. temperature) can also shape… read more here.
