Subterranean ecosystems are among the most widespread environments on Earth, yet we
still have poor knowledge of their biodiversity. To raise awareness of subterranean …

Townsend's big-eared bat, Corynorhinus townsendii, is a cave-and mine-roosting species
found largely in western North America. Considered a species of conservation concern …

Species interactions between bats and fungi are poorly known. We documented the
association between fungal and bat diversities along a landscape gradient. Ten, eight, and …

Effective management decisions depend on knowledge of species distribution and habitat
use. Maps generated from species distribution models are important in predicting previously …

Hibernating bats are often at risk from human disturbance, loss of suitable habitat due to
climate change, or anthropogenic modification and disease. Townsend's big-eared bat …

Northern yellow bats (Dasypterus intermedius) are tree-roosting bats in the family
Vespertilionidae comprised of two subspecies: D. intermedius intermedius and D …

Genetic variability generally is associated with adaptive potential of species and can be
assessed using microsatellite markers. Mexican long-nosed bats (Leptonycteris nivalis) are …

Genetic tools are essential for uncovering several ecological aspects of biodiversity,
particularly for groups as taxonomically and ecologically diverse as bats. Bats provide vital …

An annotated checklist of the terrestrial mammals of Los Angeles County was compiled,
based on over 10,000 museum records spanning over 100 years of scientific research. Part …

Vagility, ecological requirements, and forest patches can all influence gene flow among
populations. These aspects are critical for the maintenance of genetic diversity in …
