Description:Excerpt from Population Ecology of the Gray Bat (Myotis Grisescens): Philopatry, Timing and Patterns of Movement, Weight Loss During Migration, and Seasonal Adaptive StrategiesMost caves were found through personal inquiry at small coun try stores and service stations, and through conversations with landowners. Members of the Huntsville (alabama) Grotto of the National Speleological Society provided much valuable information regarding caves of that area, and biologists studying cave faunas were helpful in Florida and Tennessee. In order to ascertain the distribution of colonies, I spent much time checking areas removed from large bodies of water, as well as along river systems. I made a special effort to investigate every known cave within a 70 km radius of colony 25 in order to gain a complete understanding of local nightly and seasonal movements of that colony. I also searched for a possible Florida gray bat hibernaculum one week per month dur ing the winter of 1970-71.Several capture techniques were used in this study. Most bats caught before 10 May or after 10 July were hand-netted at their roosts. Those caught between these dates (the time when pregnant females or non-volant young might be on the roost) were usually trapped at cave entrances (tuttle, limited hand-netting dur ing that period was restricted to bachelor colonies where there would be no danger of abortion or mortality. Although some bats were trapped at entrances to hibernating caves, most winter cap tures were made by hand; torpid individuals were simply removed from their clusters.Wintering caves (5, 21 and 44) were visited for the purpose of recovering banded bats from one to three times per winter in 1969-70, 1970-71 and 1972-73. In addition, a trap was set in an en trance to cave 5 at 14-day intervals throughout the winter of 1970-71, regardless of weather conditions. This cave also was visited in the winters of 1961-62, 1962-63, 1967-68, 1968-69 and 1971-72, and in January of 1974. Data from the 1974 visit are used in Fig. 10 but were not processed in time for most other analyses.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
