030 In MO, show a general increase in activitiy throughout the night *045*.
031 8% mortality between birth and weaning found in Indiana *07*.
033 In michigan, a radiotelemetry study found that members of summer colonies do not all hibernate in the same location. Average distance from summer colony to hibernaculum was 460 km. All summer recaptures were within the known home range of the summer colony being studied.*40*.
007 Breed from August- October, but most in early October in MO and kentucky *02,03,08*.
013 Summer roosts may be used in successive years *28,36,39*. Also return to same foraging areas annually *39*.
024 In NY cave sex ratio 51.4 % males *13*.
026 May establish feeding territories *03*.
028 Foraging ranges in IL study averaged 51.85 ha for pregnant females, 94.25 ha for lactating females, 212.67 ha for post-lactating females, 37 ha for juvenile females, 57.33 ha for adult males and 28.25 ha for juvenile males *28*.
099 In MO females arrive at caves and begin hibernation in October, males remain active in order to mate with arriving females *02,03*. Apparently end hibernation March-April *02*. Species shows strong loyalty for hibernation caves *03*. Individuals may be active periodically during hibernation *08*. Young are born late June - early July in MO *02,05*. Young reared in maternity colonies of 25 - 100 adults *02*. In Indiana survival rates 17% for adults and longevity may be as much as 14.8 years for females and 13.5 years for males *14*.
011 Most roost trees are conifer snags esp. under exfoliating bark of dead or dying trees. Roost trees include Pinus spp., Quercus rubra, Betula lenta, and Tsuga canadensis of dbh 26-109. *043*
018 1 young per litter *02,05,07,08*.
006 Forage between 3-10 m above ground, under forest canopy, or around crowns of trees *03,06*. In TN study, foraging bats captured at average height of 3.6 m, mostly centered around 2 m and 4.5 m, none captured greater than 7 m high *32*.

Management

Beneficial Management Practices:

Water - control pollution (thermal, physical, chemical)
Water - develop/maintain streamside vegetation
Water - restrict human disturbance
Agricultural - seasonal restriction of human use of habitat
Agricultural - maintain riparian habitats
Agricultural - maintain streamside vegetation
Agricultural - maintain habitat diversity
Agricultural - maintain woodlots
Forest - seasonal restriction of human use of habitats
Forest - maintain wilderness environment
Forest - maintain riparian habitats
Forest - develop/maintain edge (ecotones)
Forest - maintain streamside vegetation
Forest - maintain habitat diversity
Forest - reforestation
Forest - maintain old growth forests
Forest - retain snags/cavity trees

Beneficial Management References: 002 , 003 , 004

Adverse Managment Practices:

Water - application of pesticides
Water - application of insecticides
Water - navigational improvements (channelization, dams, locks)
Water - stream channelization
Agricultural - application of pesticides
Agricultural - application of insecticides
Forest - application of pesticides
Forest - application of insecticides

Adverse Management References: 002 , 003

Comments on Management:
Caves used for hibernation must be protected September 1 - April 30 with gates or fencing, as well as with posted notices *26*. should minimize disturbance near roost trees, in upland and riparian areas. small clearcuts around large standing dead trees are beneficial. potential maternal roost trees can be created by girdling trees greater than 30 cm dbh. trees should have no shade during the day and should be in areas with greater than 20% forest within 3 km around the tree. Preserving live shagbark hickories also provides potential roost trees. *31*. riparian forests should be managed to increase and maintain the numbers of large diameter trees and prevent removal of dead trees greater than 30.1 cm dbh *38*.
