The primary goals of this assessment are to consolidate and synthesize existing information on the status, distribution, conservation, and management considerations for five species of forest bats on national forests in Region 9: Pipistrellus subflavus (eastern pipistrelle), Nycticeius humeralis (evening bat), Myotis austroriparius (southeastern myotis), M. leibii (eastern small-footed myotis), and M. septentrionalis (northern long-eared bat). These species are listed as Regional Forester Sensitive Species on one or more forests of the Eastern Region. The regional forester listing affords protection for a species on the national forests for which it is listed. The forest's goal is to protect and improve the species' habitat where management practices warrant consideration of special habitat needs and to ensure that it does not become threatened or endangered.

Although bats are often thought of as cave dwellers, many species depend on forests for all or part of the year. Of the 45 species of bats in North America, more than half depend on forests, using the bark of trees, tree cavities, or canopy foliage as roosting sites. Over the past two decades it has become increasingly clear that bat conservation and management are strongly linked to the health of forests within their range. Initially driven by concern for endangered species—the Indiana bat, for example—forest ecologists, timber managers, government agencies, and conservation organizations have been altering management plans and silvicultural practices to better accommodate bat species. Bats in Forests presents the work of a variety of experts who address many aspects of the ecology and conservation of bats. The chapter authors describe bat behavior, including the selection of roosts, foraging patterns, and seasonal migration as they relate to forests. They also discuss forest management and its influence on bat habitat. Both public lands and privately owned forests are considered, as well as techniques for monitoring bat populations and activity. The important role bats play in the ecology of forests—from control of insects to nutrient recycling—is revealed by a number of authors. Bat ecologists, bat conservationists, forest ecologists, and forest managers will find in this book an indispensable synthesis of the topics that concern them.

Three taxa of big-eared bats (genus Corynorhinus) inhabit the Eastern United States. Rafinesque's bigeared bats (C. rafinesquii) are widely distributed from West Virginia to Texas whereas the Virginia big-eared bat (C. t. virginianus) and the Ozark big-eared bat (C. t. ingens) have limited ranges. Over the past 20 years, research on the biology, ecology, and conservation of bats throughout the world has increased, but research on big-eared bats of the Eastern United States has been less extensive. In evaluating the current state of knowledge, we reviewed the existing literature on big-eared bats that inhabit the Eastern United States and found 155 references, of which 101 were research notes, full articles, or review papers. In contrast, we found 239 references on the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), an endangered species with a similar geographic range size in the Eastern United States. Through our assessment of the literature on big-eared bats, we identified many gaps in our knowledge and understanding, including demography, population dynamics, social organization, hibernation and other aspects of physiological ecology, foraging behavior and diet, the effects of forest management, and the effects of conservation efforts. We also found that research on Virginia and Ozark big-eared bats has decreased in recent years while research on Rafinesque's big-eared bats has increased. Papers in these proceedings fill many of the knowledge gaps but much research is still needed to provide managers with the information they need to conserve these sensitive species.

"The bibliography is a guide to recent scientific literature covering effects of agricultural conservation practices on fish and wildlife. The citations listed here provide information on how conservation programs and practices designed to improve fish and wildlife habitat, as well as those intended for other purposes (e.g., water quality improvement), affect various aquatic and terrestrial fauna"--Abstract.
