The goal of my thesis is to: 1) provide baseline information of where Ohio bats are foraging in Wright State University's (WSU) campus woods in relation to forest age and habitat (Chapter 1), 2) determine potential roost availability for local bats (Chapter 1), and 3) examine changes in state-wide species composition following the introduction of White-nose Syndrome (WNS; Chapter 2). In Chapter 1, I created walking bat acoustic routes and used generalized linear models to determine what forest ages and habitats had the greatest bat activity in the WSU campus woods. I conducted habitat transects throughout all forest ages to estimate and contrast their available bat roost tree densities. My results supported species-specific trends in foraging habitat selection, and could further be explained by bat flight morphology. Selection of edge habitats in primary and secondary forests was consistent among species, while variation was large among interior and riparian habitats. Further, larger bodied species preferred edge habitats for foraging while midsized and small bodied species had intraspecific variation in foraging habitat selection. Primary forests and secondary 65 year forests had the greatest availability of potential foliage roost densities compared to degraded primary and secondary 85 year forests. Additionally, secondary 65 year forest had the greatest availability of potential cavity roost densities compared to all other ages. Taken together, the WSU campus woods has habitats that sustain bat foraging and likely summer roosting. In Chapter 2, I used mobile bat acoustic data from Ohio Division of Wildlife (ODOW) to model trends in species composition over time following WNS. I created linear mixed effects models with summary acoustic detection data. To determine impacts on relative bat abundance, I created 61 formulas with varying fixed effects including species, species wintering behavior, species summer roosting behavior, year, and ODOW wildlife district. I used mobile acoustic routes as a random effect for each model. Best fit model predictions indicated relative species abundances of cave-dwelling cavity roosting bats decreasing, and migratory cavity roosting bats were increasing between 2011-2017. All foliage roosting species abundances were declining or unchanging. My results suggest a summer cavity roosting bat species turnover from more susceptible and/or affected species by WNS to migratory bats with the same summer roosting behavior. My results likely reflect a change in species composition across other WNS endemic areas, and inform state and federal future management strategies

A Natural History of Bat Foraging: Evolution, Physiology, Ecology, Behavior, and Conservation offers an all-inclusive resource on all aspects encompassing the vital process of foraging for bats. The book explores knowledge in the field, including sensory ecology, the development of cognitive maps, bat microbiomes, and molecular approaches to studying a bat’s diet. It covers the importance of foraging in biology, from evolution and natural selection, to physiology, behavior, ecology, and natural history. In addition, it provides a unique focus on the implications of bat foraging for conservation purposes, including the role that molecular biology can play in preventing species depletion or extinction. With over 1,400 species, bats are among the most diverse vertebrate groups, having evolved an astonishingly broad range of foraging strategies to adapt to nearly all global regions and environments. The book assesses manmade and environmental issues that bats must overcome to ensure survival and prevent extinction. Written by international leaders in bat research, this is the ideal resource for bat specialists and conservationists, as well as zoologists, animal behaviorists, and academics associated with such disciplines. Offers multiple expert perspectives on bat foraging behavior, a key element that influences ecosystem dynamics and modern animal ecology Formatted in an easy-to-read structure throughout all chapters Addresses the conservation and protection status for bat foraging for current and future practical applications

The Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) is a tree roosting species found throughout the eastern United States that is federally listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. A more detailed understanding of summer roosting and foraging habitat for Indiana bats is needed for effective conservation and management. The objectives of this research included identifying and describing aspects of the summer ecology of this species, especially selection of tree roosts and foraging habitat in the Big Darby Creek area in Ohio. During the 2008-2010 seasons, we captured 55 Indiana bats and radiotracked 51 individuals. We tracked bats to 56 roost trees 474 times (bat roost days). Roosts were largely clustered in riparian woodland habitat along the Big Darby Creek. Roost trees were of 11 different species but two of the trees could not be identified. Eight of the trees were alive, two were declining, and the rest were dead or in a greater stage of decay. Roost trees were found relatively close to water, and tended to be dead or decaying, a high percentage of loose bark, and a dominant canopy class, when compared to other available trees. We calculated 33 home ranges. Average home range size was 210.5 ± 130.6 SD ha (0.84 ± 0.52 SD mi2) for fixed kernel and 374.2 ± 359.6 SD ha (1.49 ± 1.44 SD mi2) for minimum convex polygon. Bats selected for woodland and water habitats, and avoided cropland at multiple spatial scales. Although most foraging flights occurred within the riparian corridor, bats also moved outside the corridor to upland areas.

While bottomland hardwoods used to encompass a large portion of the south-central United States, due to clear cutting for agriculture and other purposes, the amount of bottomland hardwoods present has been reduced by almost 88 percent from its previous extent. At the same time, bat surveys in the Midwest after the arrival of white-nose syndrome (WNS) have shown declines in populations of Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis), northern long-eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis), little brown bats (Myotis lucifigus), and tri-colored bats (Perimyotis subflavus). Due to these threats to bat populations, it is important to gain information on how various bat species in the Midwest United States utilize the landscape within bottomland hardwood ecosystems in order to inform conservation efforts. There were two main objectives to this study. First, we sought to determine which roost site characteristics influence selection of a roost location by individuals in maternity colonies of Indiana bats. Second, we wanted to evaluate which habitat characteristics influenced occupancy of morphologically similar species within bottomland hardwood ecosystems in the Midwest United States: Myotis species, tri-colored bats, and evening bats (Nycticeius humeralis).

An updated, informative review of the status and biology of the fifty-five species of mammals living wild in Ohio, richly illustrated with photographs, maps, drawings, and original artwork. This comprehensive reference illustrates how species within each of the seven orders of mammals in Ohio share modes of reproduction, locomotion, and nutrition, providing a framework for understanding the fascinating world of mammalian biology. Presentations of natural history in each account of the various species are enhanced with descriptions of intriguing adaptations for avoiding demise from predators, food shortages, and the frigid conditions of Ohio winters. The book is richly illustrated with range maps, exquisite skull drawings, beautiful photography, and engaging artwork. Challenges to wildlife conservation are considerable in Ohio, with its vast industrialized urban centers distributed across a largely agricultural landscape. With frequent citations of scientific reports and conservation efforts of the Ohio Division of Wildlife and of other public and private entities, this book instills an appreciation for the rich mammalian fauna of Ohio, as well as knowledge on how to join efforts to protect it. Covering all of the state’s mammals, from tiny, obscure shrews to the magnificent white-tailed deer, Mammals of Ohio is a definitive resource for professional biologists and students. The narrative style throughout the book is accessible, providing the general reader with an appreciation for the full scope of the rich mammalian diversity in the state.
