“…For big brown bats, sample size (n = 23 bats banded) was probably too low for recaptures. Both hoary bats and silver-haired bats are migratory, and most captured silver-haired bats were likely migrating; they are not resident in Arkansas during the summer reproductive season (Perry et al 2010). Likewise, although hoary bats breed in the Ouachita Mountains, they are relatively rare in this area during the summer reproductive season (Perry et al 2010).…”

“…Both hoary bats and silver-haired bats are migratory, and most captured silver-haired bats were likely migrating; they are not resident in Arkansas during the summer reproductive season (Perry et al 2010). Likewise, although hoary bats breed in the Ouachita Mountains, they are relatively rare in this area during the summer reproductive season (Perry et al 2010). Most hoary bats were captured in late spring and late summer during the migration periods, and hoary bats tracked with radio transmitters during these times suggested most were migrating (Perry and Thill 2007c).…”

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.

“…Se sugiere que la notoria desproporción sexual encontrada en los registros de capturas probablemente se deba a las diferentes estrategias usadas entre hembras y machos en la búsqueda de recursos, y no a una desproporción sexual real. Es posible que las hembras al necesitar un mayor requerimiento nutricional necesario para criar estarían explorando más estratos y recursos que los machos (Cryan 2003;Perry et al 2010); por ello las hembras se registrarían más frecuentemente, cabe resaltar que nuestro espécimen hembra fue registrada en redes colocadas en sotobosque. También se ha sugerido que la proporción sexual en murciélagos está muy relacionada a la distribución estacional o temporal y a la migración vertical (Perry et al 2010;Esbérard et al 2011); sin embargo, la mayor proporción de hembras en V. brocki se presenta en ambas temporadas (húmeda y seca), y en estudios en diferentes localidades y con diferente diseño y esfuerzo de muestreo.…”

“…However, in Presidio County, Texas, Dowler et al (1999) captured a juvenile female on 20 April, suggesting an earlier parturition date (late March or early April). In contrast, pregnant females were captured in Ohio from late April until the end of June (Cockrum 1955) and, in Arkansas, a single pregnant bat was captured on 12 May (Perry et al 2010). Watkins (1969) reported capture of pregnant evening bats in Missouri on 8 July.…”

Forests of eastern Texas represent the westernmost extent of the southern pine forests and part of the pine belt of the forested Gulf coastal plain. Bat community assemblages in similar forests throughout southeastern United States have been documented in various studies, but only scant data are available for Texas. The purpose of this study was to characterize the assemblage and investigate reproductive patterns of the summer bat community in the austroriparian forest of eastern Texas. Using mist nets, we captured bats during summers 2009–2011 and recorded species, gender, age and reproductive condition. We captured 382 bats of eight species: Seminole Lasiurus seminolus (n = 163), evening Nycticeius humeralis (n = 86), big brown Eptesicus fuscus (n = 57), eastern red Lasiurus borealis (n = 31), southeastern myotis Myotis austroriparius (n = 21), tri-colored Perimyotis subflavus (n = 19), Mexican free-tailed Tadarida brasiliensis (n = 4), and hoary Lasiurus cinereus (n = 1) bats. Analysis of reproductive data suggests that three of these species (big brown, evening, and Seminole bats) may be following a reproductive strategy—extended seasonal monoestry (births of single litters spanning a particular season)—different than their previously reported pattern of synchronous monoestry.
