Relating bat species presence to simple habitat measures in a central Appalachian forest (2005, background): “…et al., 2004; Menzel et al., 2005a), whereas small-bodied generalists such as M. lucifugus and Pipistrellus subflavus would be primarily associated with riparian habitat regardless of the presence of structural clutter (Fenton and Barclay, 1980; Fujita and Kunz, 1984; Ratcliffe and Dawson, 2003).”
Do you hear what I hear? Implications of detector selection for acoustic monitoring of bats (2012, background): “…frequency of most energy ~40 kHz, maximum frequency ~81 kHz), but only some would accurately document activity byM. septentrionalis,which uses calls dominated by higher frequencies (frequency of most energy ~60 kHz, maximum frequency ~126 kHz; Faure, Fullard & Dawson 1993; Ratcliffe & Dawson 2003).”
Movements and Resource Selection of the Northern Long-eared Myotis (Myotis septentrionalis) in a Forest–Agriculture Landscape (2008, background): “The morphology and echolocation call design reflect a species with highly maneuverable flight, and a flexible gleaning and hawking foraging strategy (Broders et al. 2004; Faure et al. 1993; Ratcliffe and Dawson 2003), thus facilitating foraging in cluttered forest interiors.”
Use of Forest Edges by Bats in a Managed Pine Forest Landscape (2008, background): “Northern long-eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) likely comprised a portion of our Myotis detections (Morris et al. 2009) and are known to glean prey from substrates (Faure et al. 1993, Ratcliffe and Dawson 2003).”
