Effect of Forest Structure and Fragmentation on Site Occupancy of Bat Species in Missouri Ozark Forests (2006, background): “Example landscape characteristics that influence bat species distribution include extent of fragmentation, patch size, and presence of edge habitat (Grindal and Brigham 1999, Law et al. 1999, Estrada and Coates-Estrada 2002).”
Activity patterns and habitat preferences of insectivorous bats in a West African forest–savanna mosaic (2004, background): “Most studies on activity of insectivorous bats have been conducted in the northern temperate zone (Brigham et al. 1997, De Jong 1994, Erickson & West 2002, Kalcounis & Brigham 1994, Rydell et al. 1996) whereas similar studies in the tropics are underrepresented and in the case of Africa have…”
Positive effects of forest fragmentation, independent of forest amount, on bat abundance in eastern Ontario, Canada (2011, background): “We did not conduct surveys on nights with rain since it has been found to substantially reduce bat activity (Erickson and West 2002).”
Roost tree selection by northern myotis (Myotis septentrionalis) maternity colonies following prescribed fire in a Central Appalachian Mountains hardwood forest (2009, background): “Mist netting was conducted <5 h following sunset, unless prevented by periods of rain, wind 20 kph, or temperatures <10 8C as these conditions can influence bat activity levels (Erickson and West, 2002).”
