Intersexual roost selection by the little brown bat in Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan

Join us for a talk by Emma Blacken, MSc Candidate at the University of Regina for a talk on her research on little brown bats. The little brown bat, an endangered species in Canada, is often associated with roosting in buildings across its North American Range. The selection of buildings as roosts, however, is typically most common in reproductive females forming maternity colonies in the summer. Nonreproductive females and males may exhibit more natural roost selection (i.e. trees), particularly in an area like Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan (SK), where buildings are limited. My research aimed to identify and characterize the natural roost selection of nonreproductive female and male little brown bats in Cypress Hills, SK to better understand the roosting requirements of this endangered species.
