Abstract

Abstract. Forest bats, including evening bats (Nycticeius humeralis), sometimes roost in manmade structures, such as barns and bridges, but here we report the first observations of evening bats using bird nest boxes for roosting on multiple occasions between 2012 and 2019, a few kilometers north of Jonesboro, Arkansas. Most encounters were in August, when the nesting season is almost finished. We discuss timing and factors that may explain use of bird nest boxes for roosting by bats.

在阿肯色州东北部，夜蝠(Nycticeius humeralis)使用鸟巢箱作为白天的栖息地

摘要森林蝙蝠，包括夜蝠(Nycticeius humeralis)，有时栖息在人造结构中，如谷仓和桥梁，但在这里，我们报告了2012年至2019年期间，在阿肯色州琼斯博罗以北几公里处，夜蝙蝠多次使用鸟巢箱栖息的首次观察结果。大多数遭遇发生在8月，那时筑巢季节即将结束。我们讨论了可能解释蝙蝠使用鸟巢箱栖息的时间和因素。

期刊介绍： The American Midland Naturalist has been published for 90 years by the University of Notre Dame. The connotations of Midland and Naturalist have broadened and its geographic coverage now includes North America with occasional articles from other continents. The old image of naturalist has changed and the journal publishes what Charles Elton aptly termed "scientific natural history" including field and experimental biology. Its significance and breadth of coverage are evident in that the American Midland Naturalist is among the most frequently cited journals in publications on ecology, mammalogy, herpetology, ornithology, ichthyology, parasitology, aquatic and invertebrate biology and other biological disciplines.
