Eastern Cave- and Crevice-Dwelling Bats Potentially Impacted by USACE Reservoir Operations

Abstract

This document is one in a series of technical notes concerning species that are potentially impacted by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) reservoir operations. These technical notes are products of the Corps Ecosystem Management and Restoration Research Program (EMRRP) work unit titled "Reservoir Operations - Impacts on Target Species" (Dickerson, Martin, and Allen 1999; Kasul, Martin, and Allen 2000). This note provides information on six species of forest bats that roost in caves or cave-like structures and potentially occur on Corps projects in the Eastern United States. The status of each species is given and information is provided on the impacts responsible for population decline.
