Mist-netting, passive ultrasonic detection, and stable isotopes determine community structure and temporal variation in bats (Chiroptera) at Acadia National Park, Maine. Divoll, T. Ph.D. Thesis, 2012.
abstract   bibtex   
Recent issues such as white-nose syndrome and wind power development have undoubtedly affected bat populations in northeastern North America. A lack of baseline knowledge of bat abundances and spatial and temporal patterns makes it challenging at best to understand what to consider, how to manage, and how to conserve bat populations. To better understand the natural history of bats at Acadia National Park (ANP), I employed several methods to make inferences on the behaviors and patterns of different species present at this coastal bat refuge. First, I mist-netted bats and supplemented with acoustic detection and call analysis to map abundance patterns temporally. Then I collected blood, skin, and hair samples from a subset of captured bats to explore differences in stable isotopes among tissues, species, sampling season, and age.
