Description

INTRODUCTION The availability of adequate roosts is critical for bats and may affect population size and species distributions (Humphrey, 1975; Kunz, 1982). Roosting habitat in the form of caves, mines or bridges is relatively easy to identify and protect (Tuttle and Kennedy, 1999), but this only partially protects many species of bats. Many North American species occupy caves only during hibernation, emerging in spring and dispersing to forest habitat where they form maternity colonies in trees.
