A Review of Camera-Trapping Methodology for Eastern Spotted Skunks Open
Eastern spotted skunks Spilogale putorius are an understudied species that has experienced range-wide declines. Over the past 16 y, camera traps have become an increasingly common tool to monitor and understand their current distribution. …

Evaluating bat boxes: design and placement alter bioenergetic costs and overheating risk Open
Bat box microclimates vary spatially and temporally in temperature suitability. This heterogeneity subjects roosting bats to a variety of thermoregulatory challenges (e.g. heat and cold stress). Understanding how different bat box designs,…

Variation in Lepidopteran Occurrence in Hemlock-Dominated and Deciduous-Dominated Forests of Central Appalachia Open
Eastern hemlock, (Tsuga canadensis Carrière, Pinaceae), is threatened with extirpation by an exotic invasive herbivore, the hemlock woolly adelgid, (Adelges tsugae Annand, Homoptera: Adelgidae). Given this threat, a broader and more detail…

Car Park House Share: Reclaiming Wellington's Car Parking Buildings Open
This thesis anticipates that inner city car parking buildings will become vacant as new car ownership models, such as car sharing, reduce the number of cars parked in cities. “Collaborative consumption” is changing the way that consumers o…

Migratory and winter activity of bats in Yellowstone National Park Open
A substantial body of work exists describing timing of migration and hibernation among bats in eastern North America, but less is known about these events among bats inhabiting the Rocky Mountain region. Yellowstone National Park is a geot…

Modeling Activity of the Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis) at Mammoth Cave National Park Using Remotely-Sensed Descriptors of Forest Canopy Conditions Open
We sought to identify forest canopy characteristics useful for predicting activity of the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), an endangered species found at Mammoth Cave National Park (hereafter, the Park). To do so, we used Airborne Laser Scann…

Evaluating the Energetic Value of Lepidoptera Using Bomb Calorimetry Open
Lepidopterans are a core resource for many of North America’s insectivorous bats. These predators consume Lepidoptera of varying sizes, and some bat species remove the wings of lepidopteran prey prior to consumption. Selection of larger pr…

The Activity of Myotis sodalis and Myotis septentrionalis Changes on the Landscape of Mammoth Cave National Park Following the Arrival of White-nose Syndrome Open
White-nose Syndrome (WNS) was detected at Mammoth Cave National Park in January 2013, and population estimates have declined for two federally-listed bat species, Myotis septentrionalis (northern long-eared bat) and Myotis sodalis (Indiana…
