Foraging Behavior and Nocturnal Activity Patterns of Missouri Bats, with Emphasis on the Endangered Species Myotis grisescens and Myotis sodalis

Space use and resource selection by foraging Indiana bats at the northern edge of their distribution

“…At their summer ranges, female Indiana bats form day-roost maternity colonies of 20 to 100 individuals under exfoliating bark of trees or snags and in cracks or crevices (Kurta et al 1993, Menzel et al 2001, Kurta 2004. During the night, Indiana bats forage on insects in riparian forested areas, and in upland forested areas and other habitats to a lesser extent (Humphrey et al 1977, LaVal et al 1977, LaVal & LaVal 1980, Brack 1983, Ford et al 2005. Accordingly, in the maternity season, managers must be cognizant of both roosting and foraging habitat needs (Menzel et al 2005).…”

Methods for Assessing the Impact of Fog Oil Smoke on Availability, Palatability, & Food Quality of Relevant Life Stages of Insects for Threatened and Endangered Species

“…Beetle and lepidoptera larvae are the taxa dominating the herbivorous guild feeding in forest and shrub canopies and constitute the highest proportion of the diet of bird species in these habitats (Graber 1961, Chapin 1925, Pulick 1976, Repaksy and Doerr 1991. On the other hand, the adult stage of moths, mosquitoes, and to a lesser extent, beetles are important constituents of the diet of Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis, LaVal et al 1977). Adult forms of aquatic insects such as mosquitoes and mayflies make up the diet of the gray bat (Myotis grisescens, Tuttle 1976, LaVal et al 1977.…”

Wood roaches (Blatellidae), adult and larval forms of beetles, and larval moths are important components of the red-cockaded woodpecker diet (Hanula et al 2000).…”
