Notes
The high concentration of abandoned mine closures and the existence of pre-closure survey data make Silver Reef an ideal site for evaluating the long-term effectiveness of bat compatible gates, further aiding land managers in making appropriate gate installation decisions. The Bat and Mines Project objectives included: 1) Collection of baseline data to compare bat use of both gated and un-gated mines; 2) Documentation of seasonal, monthly, and daily bat activity patterns for a selected group of gated and un-gated mines; 3) Identification of bat species using this group of gated and un-gated mines and monitoring bat population trends in these mines; 4) Collection of internal and external temperature and relative humidity to determine if temperature affects bat populations and/or behavior; 5) Documentation of changes in bat behaviors associated with predator (human and/or natural) and bat gate avoidance; and 6) Evaluation of external monitoring techniques for assessing bat activity at the mine entrances.
