This book was released on 2019 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goals of my thesis are to: 1) identify species of bats in Wright State University's (WSU) campus woods via acoustic surveys to compare to detections from previous years (Chapter 1) (2) analyze occupancy and detection probabilities of Indiana bats in different areas throughout the woods (Chapter 1), and 3) create an acoustical approach to analyze habitat use through bat social calls (Chapter 2). In Chapter 1, I conducted stationary acoustic surveys in the Wright State University woods in hydric (riparian), edge, and old growth habitats to record bat vocalizations. The WSU woods have a diverse bat community as ten out of eleven possible bat species were detected. Furthermore, foraging habitat selection was species-specific, and could be driven by wing loading and competitive exclusion. Indiana bat occupancy was consistent throughout the woods; habitat did not affect occupancy. Indiana bat detection was not affected by habitat or precipitation but was positively correlated with temperature. As temperatures increased, bat detection probabilities also increased. In Chapter 2, I conducted stationary acoustic surveys in the WSU woods in riparian, edge, and old-growth habitats to record Indiana bat social calls. The WSU woods housed federally endangered bats, and likely Indiana bat maternal roost sites indicated by the presence of isolation calls. This study also demonstrated that habitat analysis using social calls is a viable way to detect quality foraging areas and maternal roost sites

This book was released on 2016 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oak Openings Region of Northwest Ohio of Northwest Ohio is an incredibly biodiverse area that is home to many rare and endangered plant and animal species. Furthering our knowledge and understanding on the resident bat species within the region is critical as populations of many species have declined from White-nose Syndrome, habitat loss and fragmentation, and wind energy barotrauma. To further bat-specific research in the region, my thesis research focused on: 1) identifying the relationships between bat activity and diversity and fragmentation features; 2) monitoring trends in activity and richness between forested and savanna sites over time; and 3) developing refined spatially explicit habitat models of bat occupancy using data collected from protected and unprotected habitat and comparing them to models created from strictly protected habitat. Ecological knowledge on bats and their response to features commonly associated with habitat fragmentation is lacking, so I acoustically surveyed thirty roads with Anabat SDII monitors within and outside of protected areas. I utilized logistic regression analysis to examine the relationship between presence/absence and activity of each species with each feature (e.g. proportion of road with overstory) to select candidate variables for multivariate models. I then created candidate multivariate models for each species and selected final models based on parsimony, AIC values, and adjusted R square values. Bats had a differential response to features between species, and park managers must consider the management of roads on a species- specific viewpoint if they plan to focus conservation efforts on bats. For the second part of my research, I surveyed bat relative activity within forest and savanna sites and compared the data to previous monitoring efforts. Within the single year I monitored, savanna sites appeared to host a greater activity for many species and a greater species richness. Between years, savanna sites remained predominantly stable in species composition and activity, but forested sites had declines in activity among certain species and declines in species richness. Results demonstrate a need for further investigation of forest habitat and additional comparisons between savannas and other open habitat to determine their role for bats in the region. For the third part, I developed Maxent species distribution models for seven species of bats that occur in the region and compared them to existing models. I tested previously developed occupancy models' predictive power using new data. Once data were demonstrated to be comparable through model performance, I created new models from a combination of previous (prior to White-nose) and new data (post White-nose). I then tested previous and new models with an independent dataset and compared their performances and areas of predicted presence for each species. The addition of new data refined previous models and offered a species-specific view on the importance of prominent landscape characteristics for probability of presence. The results of this thesis research contribute to our knowledge of bats within the Oak Openings Region and provide tools for adaptive management in fragmented landscapes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every three years a major international conference on bats draws the leading workers in the field to a carefully orchestrated presentation of the research and advances and current state of understanding of bat biology. Bats are the second most populous group of mammalia species, after rodents, and they are probably the most intensively studied group of mammals. Virtually all mammologists and a large proportion of organismic biologists are interested in bats. The earlier two edited books deriving from previous bat research conferences, as well as this one, have been rigorously edited by Tom Kunz and others, with all chapters subjected to peer review. The resulting volumes, published first by Academic Press and most recently by Smithsonian, have sold widely as the definitive synthetic treatments of current scientific understanding of bats.

Download or read book Biodiversity of Semiarid Landscape written by Sunil Nautiyal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-20 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents authentic data compiled from field experiments and investigations, and provides a point of reference for any future changes associated with anthropogenic activity in semiarid ecosystems. Three years of continuous and rigorous empirical research on biodiversity (from phytoplankton to higher plants and from zooplankton to higher animals – all flora and fauna) in India’s semiarid region have culminated in this work. Though there are many studies available on issues related to biodiversity, the majority cover either specific groups of plants or groups of animals; with the exception of this book, studies that include all flora and fauna including the phyto- and zooplanktons in a given ecosystem are not readily available. Further, the book focuses on an extremely important topic, firstly because semiarid landscapes are highly vulnerable to climate change, and secondly because other developmental activities will be undertaken in the region in an effort to meet its energy requirements. As such, the results of the current study will provide a standard protocol for subsequent monitoring and mapping of biodiversity for conservation and management. The book explores, quantifies and surveys plant and animal species from aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, assessing and quantitatively analyzing the diversity indices of different vegetation strata. Further, it investigates the conservation status of each species (flora and fauna) in keeping with IUCN categories. The study also examines landscape dynamics using RS and GIS for vegetation analysis, and discusses traditional ecological knowledge related to the use, conservation and management of biodiversity. As such, it offers a unique and valuable resource not only for researchers from the environmental/ecological sciences but also for conservationists and policymakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing human populations and higher demands for water impose increasing impacts and stresses upon freshwater biodiversity. Their combined effects have made these animals more endangered than their terrestrial and marine counterparts. Overuse and contamination of water, overexploitation and overfishing, introduction of alien species, and alteration of natural flow regimes have led to a 'great thinning' and declines in abundance of freshwater animals, a 'great shrinking' in body size with reductions in large species, and a 'great mixing' whereby the spread of introduced species has tended to homogenize previously dissimilar communities in different parts of the world. Climate change and warming temperatures will alter global water availability, and exacerbate the other threat factors. What conservation action is needed to halt or reverse these trends, and preserve freshwater biodiversity in a rapidly changing world? This book offers the tools and approaches that can be deployed to help conserve freshwater biodiversity.
