“…Pipistrellus subflavus hibernates singly, and in summer, males and nonreproductive females roost singly in trees. The maternity colonies of reproductive females consist of few individuals, unlike typical colonial species such as E. fuscus (Fujita and Kunz, 1984;Veilleux et al, 2003;Veilleux and Veilleux, 2004). Treating P. subflavus as a colonial species in analysis of solitary versus colonial pooled prevalence would not change the overall result.…”

ABSTRACT:Data on rabies virus infection in bats that were submitted to the Alabama Department of Public Health from 1995-2005 were analyzed. Demographic factors, such as species and sex, and temporal aspects, such as yearly and monthly trends, were investigated. Thirteen species of bats were submitted, and of those, individuals from seven species were rabid; prevalence was highest in Lasiurus borealis and Pipistrellus subflavus and lowest in Eptesicus fuscus and Nycticeius humeralis. There was no difference in prevalence of rabies between sexes or years. Statistically, more rabid bats were submitted in August, September, and November; and fewer were submitted in March, June, and July. Results were similar to those from other regions of North America; these data from Alabama can help to present a more complete view of rabies in bats in North America.

“…Consequently, much information is available on intraand inter-annual fidelity by bats to these permanent structures. Recent interest in forest-roosting bats has resulted in abundant studies on roosting in forests (e.g., Lacki and Baker 2003;Kalcounis-Rü ppell et al 2005), and studies have demonstrated short-term fidelity to a single tree or group of trees by these species during summer (e.g., Perry and Thill 2007a, b;Veilleux and Veilleux 2004). However, these studies were generally limited by the longevity of batteries in radio transmitters used to locate bats (typically 10-30 d).…”

Fidelity of Bats to Forest Sites Revealed From Mist-Netting Recaptures

Although site fidelity to permanent roost structures by bats is generally known, long-term fidelity to areas such as foraging or drinking sites is unknown. Furthermore, mist-net recaptures of bats over multiple years are rarely reported. Extensive mist-net surveys were conducted over the course of 8 y in the Ouachita National Forest of central Arkansas, United States to investigate long-term site fidelity and recapture rates of individually marked forest bats. Among eight species that were captured, five species were recaptured over spans ≥1 y, including eastern red bats Lasiurus borealis, Seminole bats L. seminolus, evening bats Nycticeius humeralis, tri-colored bats Lasiurus borealis, and northern long-eared bats Myotis septentrionalis. Some individuals were recaptured multiple times over multiple years, and the maximum span over which an individual was recaptured was 1 y for Seminole bats, 2 y for tri-colored bats, 3 y for evening bats, 4 y for eastern red bats, and 5 y for northern long-eared bats. These results indicate long-term site fidelity by multiple bat species to particular forest sites, primarily pools along small intermittent streams. Proximity to these sites should be considered when conducting management activities.

“…In eastern parts of the range of P. subflavus, summer maternity roosts of females generally are located in buildings and trees (Whitaker 1998, Veilleux et al 2003, Veilleux and Veilleux 2004. However, little is known about the roosting sites of males in summer (Kunz 1999).…”

Use of a mine by eastern pipistrelles (Perimyotis subflavus) in east central Nebraska

The eastern pipistrelle (Perimyotis subflavus) is relatively common and widespread throughout the eastern United States. In recent decades, the distribution of P. subflavus has expanded westward across the Great Plains, and little information exists on its natural history in this region. In east central Nebraska, we monitored the use of a mine by eastern pipistrelles for >1 year. A few males occupied the roost in summer, but during the period of hibernation (late September-early May), the mine was used by at least 30 individuals composed of both sexes. Most individuals first entered the mine during late September through mid-October and exited by mid-May, with numbers of individuals fluctuating throughout winter. In winter, most individuals roosted along outer passageways of the mine, but in other seasons individuals were scattered throughout the mine. Females had significantly greater body masses than males upon entering the mine in autumn and before exiting the mine in spring. Both sexes had significantly heavier body masses in autumn than in spring. Overall, 55% of individuals marked in spring returned in autumn. Males had a higher return rate (69%) than females (46%) over a single summer. Many aspects of the natural history of P. subflavus in Nebraska are similar to those reported from eastern but not from southern parts of its distribution.
