Knowing that columnar cacti occur in the Pacific coastal lowlands of Mexico and that agaves occur in upland portions of the Sierra Madre, they were able to identify the likely ‘nectar corridors’ along which these bats fly during migration.

Feb 27, 2020 · We assessed the migratory behavior of multiple temperate bat species along the Missouri River, a major river corridor in North Dakota, during March through October of 2016–2017. Bat detectors with paired microphones were deployed and oriented parallel to …

Mar 12, 2025 · Every spring three species of nectar-feeding bats travel several hundred miles from Mexico into Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas to reach maternity roosts where they rear their young. With tongues that can be as long as the rest of their bodies, these bats are thought to migrate along "nectar corridors."

Here we describe seasonally resolved distributions for the three species that are most impacted by wind farms (Lasiurus borealis (eastern red bat), L. cinereus (hoary bat) and Lasionycteris noctivagans (silver-haired bat)) and use these distributions to …

Migration Corridors. Based on carbon isotope and MtDNA data, lesser long-nosed bats migrate north in the spring along two corridors, a Coastal Lowland Route and an Inland Montane Route (along the foothills and western flank of the Sierra Madre Occidental).

Nov 7, 2018 · We observed bats on 993 occasions and saw many behaviors, including close approaches, flight loops and dives, hovering, and chases. Most bats altered course toward turbines during observation.

Dec 18, 2024 · Elucidating bat migration patterns will enable us to develop effective conservation measures, for example in relation to the development and operation of coastal and offshore wind farms. Migratory bats perform seasonal movements between their summer and winter areas.

Here we describe seasonally resolved distributions for the three species that are most impacted by wind farms (Lasiurus borealis (eastern red bat), L. cinereus (hoary bat) and Lasionycteris noctivagans (silver-haired bat)) and use these distributions to …

Jan 1, 2013 · The continued growth of wind power and its impact on bat populations as well as effects of climate change on the movements of bats, their prey, and the pathogens that they vector all suggest that migration in bats will be an increasingly important focus of research.

Knowing that columnar cacti occur in the Pacific coastal lowlands of Mexico and that agaves occur in upland portions of the Sierra Madre, they were able to identify the likely ‘nectar corridors’ along which these bats fly during migration.
