Описание
Mesa Verde National Park offers important habitat for bats. Recent high-intensity fires, drought, and pest insect infestations have destroyed a large proportion of the park's pinyon-juniper, Douglas-fir, and ponderosa pine habitats, but the bat fauna of the park has not been assessed since these widespread changes took place. Fort biologists documented 16 species of bats at Mesa Verde in 2006, which includes all species of bats known from western Colorado. This included the first documentation of a maternity colony of the spotted bat (Euderma maculatum) in Colorado. The high mesas at Mesa Verde, bisected by numerous canyons and cliff faces, provide very favorable roosting habitat for bats, and this was borne out by results of radiotracking bats of several species to roosts. The availability of roosts in crevices in cliffs probably overrides any extensive reliance on pinyon or juniper trees and snags as roosts by bats. Additional documentation of the bat fauna, assessment of their reproductive condition, and determination of roosting habits will be carried out in 2007, with a final report delivered in 2008. This dataset consists of an Excel workbook containing capture histories of bats in and around the park during the years of 2006 and 2007.

| Описание плана выполнения исследований | We sampled bats in mist nets set near three sewage lagoons and less frequently at five other sites on 58 nights from 17 may to 13 August 2006. Mist-netting was concentrated along the margins of four sewage treatment lagoons at various locations within the park. At sewage lagoons we generally set all nets possible given our equipment, averaging 91 m of coverage each night using nets that were set on 3-m-high poles. On nine nights at three of the sewage lagoons we also set multiple 20-m-long stacked nets at 6-m heights using a pulley system. Nets were tended from dusk until midnight or later, depending on the weather. We also netted for bats at the drainage tunnel under the Cliff Palace on one night. We also set nets on two nights on two nights near the stairwell at the Far View Visitor Center, a site where bats are known by park staff to hang up and night roost at night between foraging bouts. For each bat captured we determined sex and reproductive condition. Pregnancy was assessed by palpation (most reliable at advanced stages), lactation by prominence of nipples and teats (verified by expression of a milk droplet when possible, and post-lactation. Bats were categorized as adult or volant juvenile (young-of-the-year) based on ossification of the phalangeal epiphyses as viewed against a light source. The elevations of the sites where we captured bats in mist nets varied from 1,939 m to 2,476 m. |

| Цель | This dataset will help the National Park Service with the development of scientific information and decision support tools required to effectively manage terrestrial wildlife resources. Results are intended to assist with the development of adaptive management approaches for bats at Mesa Verde National Park. The purpose of the dataset is to 1) Compile, review, and synthesize available information on the occurrence and status of bats at and around Mesa Verde National Park; 2)Identify water sources in pinyon juniper forests where bats can be mist netted. |
