I am very pleased to announce that Dr. Jacques Pierre Veilleux (Franklin Pierce University, Rindge, NH) has agreed to serve as the new Editor for Recent Literature. Jacques will assume these duties beginning with the next issue of Bat Research News, Volume 49: Number 2. Therefore, please note his contact information, which is listed on the inside front cover of this issue, in the preface of the Recent Literature section, and also on the BRN Web site. This issue includes a short paper about the mysterious ailment termed “white-nose syndrome” that is threatening our bat populations in the northeastern United States. The paper, prepared by Jacques Veilleux, presents the facts as we know them at the present time. I thank Al Hicks (New York Department of Environmental Conservation), Susi von Oettingen (United States Fish and Wildlife Service), Scott Darling (Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department), Kim Miller and David Blehert (U.S. Geological Survey, National Wildlife Health Center), Jenny Dickson (Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection), Jonathon Reichard (Boston University), and Jacques Veilleux for their assistance in preparing the information provided in this issue of BRN. These individuals, in addition to many others, are working both in the field and in the laboratory to understand and resolve this serious issue. Hopefully we will be able to report updated information in future issues of BRN during the 2008 volume-year. Thanks to all of you from all of us at Bat Research News for renewing your subscription—we appreciate your continued support. Have a great spring and summer! Cheers, Marg. i Copyright 2008.

However, it direction for research on forest-living bats is unclear what constitutes an adequate (Brigham, 2007). Not surprisingly, a range of sample of radio-tagged bats for modeling use statistical methods has been employed to of habitat. Therefore, we evaluated the effect study bat-habitat relationships, including of number of radio-tagged bats on habitat correspondence analysis (Gehrt and Chelsvig, models, using Akaike’s Information Criterion 2004), discriminant analysis (Lacki et al., and logistic regression with a bootstrap 1993; Menzel et al., 2002), conditional analysis, for 48 adult female long-legged logistic regression (Weller and Zabel, 2001), myotis (Myotis volans) and 168 roost trees in paired logistic regression (Bernardos et al., north-central Idaho. A roost-landscape model 2004; Broders and Forbes, 2004), stepwise outperformed other models when all radio- logistic regression (Ormsbee and McComb, tagged bats were used. However, 1998; Rabe et al., 1998; Waldien et al., 2000), bootstrapping demonstrated changes in paired stepwise logistic regression (Elmore et rankings among models as number of bats al., 2004), maximum likelihood analysis decreased, suggesting instability of outcomes (Yates and Muzika, 2006), and Poisson with smaller sample sizes.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

NATURAL HISTORY Taxonomy: There are six recognized subspecies of Yuma Myotis 1. Because of distributional uncertainties, it is unclear which subspecies occur in Wyoming. In general, the subspecies M. y. yumanensis occurs in the southern Rocky Mountains, while M. y. sociabilis occurs in the northern Rocky Mountains 1, 2. Description: Yuma Myotis may be difficult to identify in the field, even by skilled observers. The species is a small vespertilionid bat, but medium in size among bats in the genus Myotis. Pelage color is variable across the species’ range. Dorsal fur is short, dull, and varies from gray and brown to pale tan in color. Ventral fur is lighter in color, white or buffy. The ears, wing, and tail membranes are pale brown to gray 1. Males and females are identical in appearance, but females may be significantly larger than males in some populations 1. Juveniles are similar in appearance but can be differentiated from adults by the lack of ossified joints in the phalanges for the first summer 3, 4. Yuma Myotis is similar in appearance to other co-occurring Myotis species. Yuma Myotis can be distinguished from Long-legged Myotis (M.

  • Male Condition and Group Heterogeneity Predict Extra-Group Paternity in a Neotropical Bat
    Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology (2020) 74: 136 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-020-02919-9 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Male condition and group heterogeneity predict extra-group paternity in a Neotropical bat Danielle M. Adams1 & Gerald S. Wilkinson1 Received: 30 December 2019 /Revised: 6 October 2020 /Accepted: 12 October 2020 / Published online: 21 October 2020 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Extra-group paternity, in which offspring are sired by a male outside the breeding group, may alter the distribution of reproduc- tive success in a population, thus affecting the opportunity for sexual selection. Both inter- and intraspecific studies have focused largely on mating systems in which females choose their social mates, and less is known about extra-group paternity in polygynous systems in which social mates are largely dictated by male-male competition. In this study, we examine the frequency and distribution of extra-group paternity in a harem-forming bat, Phyllostomus hastatus. We find that despite aggres- sive harem defense, males are unable to fully monopolize reproduction within their harem and over 70% of harems contain extra- group offspring. Harem males in better body condition suffered less paternity loss, but we found no effect of male age or body size. Even though the age and size of individual females did not predict offspring paternity, we found a significant effect of age heterogeneity within the group. Harems composed of differently aged females were more likely to contain extra-group offspring. Our results not only provide evidence for the role of male defense in preventing extra-group paternity but also suggest that social group composition has consequences for male reproductive success.

  • INDIANA BAT Scientific Name: Myotis Sodalis Miller and Allen Other
    Common Name: INDIANA BAT Scientific Name: Myotis sodalis Miller and Allen Other Commonly Used Names: Indiana myotis, social myotis Previously Used Names: none Family: Vespertilionidae Rarity Ranks: G2/S1 State Legal Status: Endangered Federal Legal Status: Endangered Description: The dorsal hair of the Indiana bat is dark chestnut gray to pinkish gray, darker at the base, and lacks luster. Individual hairs have three bands of color. The ears and wing membranes also have a flat coloration that does not contrast with the fur. The underfur is somewhat lighter colored with a pinkish cast. The hairs on the relatively small (9 mm, inch) feet are short and inconspicuous and the calcar (a spur of cartilage arising from inner side of ankle and running along part of outer wing ) is keeled. The total length is 41 - 49 mm (1 - 1 inches), the forearm length is 35 - 41 mm (1 -1 inches), the wingspread is 24 - 27 cm (9 - 10 inches), and the weight is about 5 - 8 grams (about ¼ ounce). Similar Species: In general, the Indiana bat closely resembles the little brown bat (Mysotis lucifugus). Characters of the latter that help distinguish it are a slightly larger (10mm) foot, toe hairs that extend beyond the knuckles, a keel-less calcar, and burnished bronze hair tips. Habitat: Indiana bats gather in large groups in suitable caves to hibernate, more than 85% of the population in just nine caves in Indiana, Missouri, and Kentucky. These bats need winter caves with a stable temperature of 4 - 8°C (39 - 46°F) that contain standing water which maintains relative humidity above 74%.
