Abstract Recent advances in low-cost autonomous recording unit (ARU) technology have made large-scale bat monitoring projects more practical, but several key features of ARUs (e.g., microphone quality and triggering thresholds) can influence their ability to detect record bats. As such, it is important quantify report variation ARU performance as new systems become available. We used the automated classification software SonoBat compare numbers call files, echolocation pulses, species...
Background: Diabetes is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in the state Alabama. Research has demonstrated geographical disparities diabetes outcomes access to healthcare service. Supporting behavior changes through self-management education (DSME) been shown improve outcomes.Purpose: The overall purpose this study was empirically measure display spatial patterns potential accessibility Alabama populations DSME services. Geographic information systems (GIS) technology used visually...
Abstract Urban environments expose wildlife to levels of anthropogenic noise they would not experience in rural areas (e.g., traffic noise), and research suggests that many species adjust their acoustic signals for optimal transmission urban soundscapes. However, our understanding anuran (order Anura) responses pollution the southeastern United States is limited, particularly can breed during winter. Our goal was examine how vocal advertisement call characteristics winter varied with...
Urbanization has negatively affected biodiversity worldwide, but bat responses to urbanization vary by region and species. We used passive acoustic monitors examine species composition activity from December 2020 February 2021 (winter) July–September (summer) at urban, greenspace, rural sites in adjacent Baton Rouge, LA. detected a similar number of during both seasons, was greater summer compared winter. across summer, winter, we more greenspace urban sites. Tadarida brasiliensis (Mexican...
Hurricane frequency and intensity are projected to increase in the coming years, there is limited data regarding effects of hurricane damage on insectivorous bat occurrence activity. We compared vegetation conditions summer species activity (i.e., total call files nightly activity) bottomland hardwood forests before (June–August 2020) after 2021) Laura Catahoula Ranger District Kisatchie National Forest, LA. Basal area was lower number for Perimyotis subflavus (Tricolored Bat) were higher...
