Second Guessing the Maximum Likelihood Estimator Values for Bat Surveys
(2026-06-09)
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service allows acoustical surveys and automated identification software to determine the presence of the endangered northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis). ...
Distribution of Northern Long-eared Bat Summer Habitat on the Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia
(2026-06-10)
Species distribution models enable resource managers to avoid and mitigate impacts to, or enhance habitat of, target species at the landscape level. Persistent declines of northern long-eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) ...
Home Range Size and Resource Use of Male Eastern Wild Turkeys in West Virginia
(2026-06-08)
Age-related differences in habitat use are commonly observed among eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris). We investigated home range size and within home range habitat (third-order) selection of 55 radio-tracked ...
Distribution Probability of the Virginia Northern Flying Squirrel in the High Allegheny Mountains
(2026-06-25)
In the central Appalachians of Virginia and West Virginia, the Virginia northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus; VNFS) is a subspecies of northern flying squirrel generally associated with red spruce (Picea ...
Seasonal Activity Patterns of Northern Long-eared Bats at Hibernacula in Western Virginia
(2026-07-06)
Understanding the relationships of biotic and abiotic factors to seasonal activity at hibernacula is important for the conservation of bats impacted by white-nose syndrome (WNS). Research on the relative and probable ...
Southern Fox Squirrel and Eastern Gray Squirrel Interactions in a Fire-maintained Ecosystem
(2026-07-06)
Southern fox squirrels (Sciurus niger niger) have been declining due to habitat fragmentation, cover type conversion, and fire suppression in the Southeast. A decrease in growing season burns has led to hardwood encroachment ...
Assessing Tricolored Bat Acoustic Monitoring for Regulatory Purposes in Relation to Reproductive Period, Cover Type, and Presence of Eastern Red Bats
(2026-06-08)
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) allows use of acoustical surveys and automated identification software to determine the presence of the proposed endangered tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus). Analytical ...
Seasonal Activity Patterns of Northern Long-eared Bats on the Coastal Mid-Atlantic
(2026-07-06)
Conservation of bats declining from white-nose syndrome (WNS) impacts requires an understanding of both temporal and landscape-level habitat relationships. Traditionally, much of the research on bat ecology has focused on ...
Distribution of Summer Habitat for the Indiana Bat on the Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia
(2026-06-10)
Hierarchical conservation and management of Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) habitat may benefit from use of species distribution models. White-nose syndrome has caused additional declines for this endangered bat, requiring ...
