This book was released on 2015-02-14 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goals of this assessment are to consolidate and synthesize existing information on the status, distribution, conservation, and management considerations for five species of forest bats on national forests in Region 9: Pipistrellus subflavus (eastern pipistrelle), Nycticeius humeralis (evening bat), Myotis austroriparius (southeastern myotis), M. leibii (eastern small-footed myotis), and M. septentrionalis (northern long-eared bat). These species are listed as Regional Forester Sensitive Species on one or more forests of the Eastern Region. The regional forester listing affords protection for a species on the national forests for which it is listed. The forest's goal is to protect and improve the species' habitat where management practices warrant consideration of special habitat needs and to ensure that it does not become threatened or endangered.

Book Synopsis Bats in Forests by : Michael J. Lacki
Download or read book Bats in Forests written by Michael J. Lacki and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-05-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Conservation and Management of Eastern Big-eared Bats by : Susan C. Loeb
Download or read book Conservation and Management of Eastern Big-eared Bats written by Susan C. Loeb and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three taxa of big-eared bats (genus Corynorhinus) inhabit the Eastern United States. Rafinesque's bigeared bats (C. rafinesquii) are widely distributed from West Virginia to Texas whereas the Virginia big-eared bat (C. t. virginianus) and the Ozark big-eared bat (C. t. ingens) have limited ranges. Over the past 20 years, research on the biology, ecology, and conservation of bats throughout the world has increased, but research on big-eared bats of the Eastern United States has been less extensive. In evaluating the current state of knowledge, we reviewed the existing literature on big-eared bats that inhabit the Eastern United States and found 155 references, of which 101 were research notes, full articles, or review papers. In contrast, we found 239 references on the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), an endangered species with a similar geographic range size in the Eastern United States. Through our assessment of the literature on big-eared bats, we identified many gaps in our knowledge and understanding, including demography, population dynamics, social organization, hibernation and other aspects of physiological ecology, foraging behavior and diet, the effects of forest management, and the effects of conservation efforts. We also found that research on Virginia and Ozark big-eared bats has decreased in recent years while research on Rafinesque's big-eared bats has increased. Papers in these proceedings fill many of the knowledge gaps but much research is still needed to provide managers with the information they need to conserve these sensitive species.

Book Synopsis Bats in the Anthropocene: Conservation of Bats in a Changing World by : Christian C. Voigt
Download or read book Bats in the Anthropocene: Conservation of Bats in a Changing World written by Christian C. Voigt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on central themes related to the conservation of bats. It details their response to land-use change and management practices, intensified urbanization and roost disturbance and loss. Increasing interactions between humans and bats as a result of hunting, disease relationships, occupation of human dwellings, and conflict over fruit crops are explored in depth. Finally, contributors highlight the roles that taxonomy, conservation networks and conservation psychology have to play in conserving this imperilled but vital taxon. With over 1300 species, bats are the second largest order of mammals, yet as the Anthropocene dawns, bat populations around the world are in decline. Greater understanding of the anthropogenic drivers of this decline and exploration of possible mitigation measures are urgently needed if we are to retain global bat diversity in the coming decades. This book brings together teams of international experts to provide a global review of current understanding and recommend directions for future research and mitigation.

Book Synopsis Beneficial Forest Management Practices for WNS-affected Bats by :
Download or read book Beneficial Forest Management Practices for WNS-affected Bats written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this document is to provide practicable Beneficial Forest Management Practices (BFMPs) that land managers and woodland owners can use to increase benefits to bats as part of their forest management activities while avoiding and reducing potential negative effects. This technical guidance was developed in collaboration with professional foresters and wildlife biologists representing state and federal agencies, academic institutions, private conservation organizations, and other interested groups and individuals in response to catastrophic population declines of many bat species due to white-nose syndrome (WNS). Although this guidance is largely focused on cave-hibernating bat species or “cave bats” impacted by WNS in the eastern United States (east of the Great Plains), general recommendations provided herein are likely to benefit other forest-dependent bat species (i.e., “tree bats”), regardless of their conservation status.

Book Synopsis Island Bats by : Theodore H. Fleming
Download or read book Island Bats written by Theodore H. Fleming and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second largest order of mammals, Chiroptera comprises more than one thousand species of bats. Because of their mobility, bats are often the only native mammals on isolated oceanic islands, where more than half of all bat species live. These island bats represent an evolutionarily distinctive and ecologically significant part of the earth’s biological diversity. Island Bats is the first book to focus solely on the evolution, ecology, and conservation of bats living in the world’s island ecosystems. Among other topics, the contributors to this volume examine how the earth’s history has affected the evolution of island bats, investigate how bat populations are affected by volcanic eruptions and hurricanes, and explore the threat of extinction from human disturbance. Geographically diverse, the volume includes studies of the islands of the Caribbean, the Western Indian Ocean, Micronesia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and New Zealand. With its wealth of information from long-term studies, Island Bats provides timely and valuable information about how this fauna has evolved and how it can be conserved.
