Hawaiian hoary bat radio-tracking roost fidelity, Hawaii Island 2018-2019
Hawaiian hoary bats (Lasiurus cinereus semotus) were captured at multiple locations on the east side of Hawaii Island from May 2018 through September 2019. Radio transmitters were affixed to captured bats and, when possible, radio telemetry was used to locate bats in trees used for day-roosts. Repeated visits to confirm bat presence were conducted until radio-tagged bats were no longer detected at roosts. A total of 56 bats (40 male; 16 female; 55 adult; 1 juvenile) were captured and radio-tagged, and of these, 33 were tracked to roost (23 male; 10 female; 32 adult; 1 juvenile) of either stand- or tree-level. For this subset of 33 bats, the number of distinct days with confirmed occupancy of a bat at roost at either the stand- or tree-level ranged from 1 to 15 days (mean = 5.0 days). The use of multiple roosts at the stand-level were observed for 8 bats; the remaining 25 were only observed at a single roost during the period of monitoring (i.e., until visually confirmed as absent or no radio-tag signal was detected from the roost). Of the subset of eight bats observed at multiple roosts, five were recorded at two roosts, two were recorded at three roosts, and one was recorded at four roosts. The observed frequency of alternating roost trees (“roost switching”) ranged from one (four bats), two (two bats), three (one bat) and eight (one bat).
