Oceanic records of North American bats and implications for offshore wind energy development in the United States

“…In Europe, field observations and recaptures of marked bats have shown that some species migrate seasonally across the Baltic and North Seas between the European continent and either Sweden or the United Kingdom, and some nonmigratory species forage over water far from shore (Ahlén et al, 2007(Ahlén et al, , 2009Hüppop & Hill, 2016;Lagerveld et al, 2014;Moores, 2017). In general, bats have been observed flying over large bodies of water (Hatch et al, 2013;Murphy & Nichols, 1913;Nichols, 1920), landing on ships at sea (Brown, 1953;Carter, 1950;Esbérard & Moreira, 2006;Griffin, 1940;Haagner, 1921;Mackiewicz & Backus, 1956;Norton, 1930;Peterson, 1970;Thomas, 1921;Van Deusen, 1961), roosting on gas and oil platforms (Boshamer & Bekker, 2008), arriving on remote islands (Allen, 1923;Cryan & Brown, 2007;Hitchcock, 1943;Paracuellos et al, 2020;Petersen et al, 2014;Tenaza, 1966;Van Gelder & Wingate, 1961), or otherwise encountered in areas or situations suggesting the animals traveled over large bodies of water (Maunder, 1988;Merriam, 1887;Miller, 1897;Saunders, 1930). Acoustic, radar, and high-altitude videography surveys in the Gulf of Maine (Peterson et al, 2014(Peterson et al, , 2016 and in the Mid-Atlantic (Craven et al, 2020;Geo-Marine, 2010;Hatch et al, 2013;Peterson et al, 2016;Sjollema et al, 201...…”

Rabies virus in a pregnant naturally infected southern yellow bat (Lasiurus ega)

“…The species has also been captured with relative frequency in natural and artificial shelters in urban areas (15)(16). This bat species is a strong flyer and migrates toward the equator, as described in other species of the genus, which is particularly important on the spread of the virus to other regions (17)(18).…”
