TL;DR: Bats roosted in western white pine, and to a lesser extent ponderosa pine and western larch, in intermediate stages of decay more often than would be expected at random.

TL;DR: Harvesting that creates a mosaic of patches with different tree densities is likely to satisfy the requirements of more species than a system with less diverse harvesting styles, and indicates that silvicultural methods have different immediate effects on different species of bats that may be obscured if the community is studied as a single entity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the flexible foraging strategy of M. evotis allows reproductive females, with their high energy demand, to inhabit areas that cannot support reproductive female M. lucifugus and can exist in such areas because of lower energy demand and, potentially, the use of torpor under adverse conditions.

TL;DR: The vocal repertoire of the little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus, is studied in this article, where the authors identify and associate ten vocalizations with specific behavioral contexts and find that despite the gregarious nature of the species, a simple social system exists and the small repertoire is therefore not surprising.

TL;DR: It is argued that the above generalization does not hold because the prey detection system of aerial insectivorous bats renders small prey unavailable to larger bats, and it is suggested that this limitation has also constrained the evolution of large aerial insectvorous bats.
