• AUTUMN MIGRATION AND SELECTION OF ROCK CREVICES AS HIBERNACULA BY BIG BROWN BATS IN COLORADO (2006, background): “Attics of houses are used commonly as hibernacula by big brown bats in Indiana and Illinois (Whitaker and Gummer 1992), and this species also has been well documented to use caves and mines for hibernacula in the eastern United States (Agosta 2002).”
• Effects of wastewater treatment plant effluent on bat foraging ecology in an urban stream system. (2007, background): “There have been few studies that have linked water quality to specific insect prey and habitat where bats are foraging (Agosta, 2002) despite the fact that top predators such as bats, at the interface of aquatic and terrestrial zones, are a good model to understand consequences of water quality on h”
• Carpe noctem: the importance of bats as bioindicators (2009, background): “…dietary item of some insectivorous bats, the overwhelming numbers and diversity of insects eaten by bats are represented by other groups, namely lepidopterans, coleopterans, homopterans, hemipterans and trichopterans (Anthony & Kunz 1977, Whitaker 1993, 1995, Agosta 2002, Agosta & Morton 2003).”
• Positive effects of forest fragmentation, independent of forest amount, on bat abundance in eastern Ontario, Canada (2011, background): “These species are among the most widespread mammals in North America, with generalist habitat associations (Shump and Shump 1982; Furlonger et al. 1987; Kurta and Baker 1990; Agosta 2002).”
• Bat activity in relation to fire and fire surrogate treatments in southern pine stands (2008, unknown): “Coleoptera and Lepidotera are the main food items of both species (Agosta, 2002; Carter et al., 2003).”
