“…For instance, Eastern Chipmunks ( Tamias striatus ) were only documented in the Ozark Mountains where they frequently used armadillo burrows for foraging and dustbathing. Within Arkansas, the Eastern Chipmunk is absent from the Gulf Coastal Plain and Mississippi Alluvial Valley (Sasse, 2003) but is found throughout the Ouachita Mountains. However, there were patterns in burrow use for more widespread species such as the Groundhog ( Marmota monax ) which occurs throughout Arkansas but was only documented using burrows in the Ozark Mountains ( N = 9).…”

“…The impact of WNS has primarily been assessed based on trends in population estimates derived from surveys conducted in caves during winter hibernation (e.g., Cheng et al 2021) or from capture rates in mist nets during the summer months (e.g., Johnson et al 2021). However, in Arkansas the Eastern Small-footed Bat has been observed in only a few caves, usually in small numbers, and is rarely observed in other surveys such as mist netting (Sasse et al 2013) and the impact of WNS on this species in this state is unknown.…”

“…The Eastern Small-footed Bat ( Myotis leibii ) is found in mountainous areas of eastern North American from Ontario southward through the Appalachians and westward to Oklahoma (Best and Jennings 1997). During the summer months, it usually roosts in cliff faces, steep talus slopes, and underneath flat rocks (Johnson and Gates 2008; Whitby et al 2013; Kearny et al 2022), although roosting in buildings and bridges has been observed (MacGregor and Kiser 1998; O'Keefe and LaVoie 2011; Sasse et al 2013). During the winter it hibernates in caves and abandoned mines, often in narrow crevices or sometimes under rocks on the cave floor (Best and Jennings 1997).…”

“…The Eastern Small-footed Myotis ( M. leibii ) roosts in a variety of rocky habitat features including under flat rocks laying on bedrock, in narrow crevices of vertical cliff faces, and between rocks on shale barrens and talus slopes–they also use human-made structures ( Saugey et al 1993 ; Roble 2004 ; Whitby et al 2013 ; Fagan et al 2016 ; Moosman et al 2017 ; Loeb and Jodice 2018 ). Most published information about behavior and ecology of this species is anecdotal and roost selection has only received rudimentary study, but aspects of their life history raise interesting questions about how or if selection differs between sexes and female reproductive phases ( Johnson and Gates 2008 ; Johnson et al 2011 ).…”
