Abstract
Bats of the Kootenai National Forest, Montana were surveyed with ultrasonic detectors during 145 detector-nights at 134 sites in July, August, and September 1995, supplementing similar efforts in 1994 (54 sites total). Twenty sites were also sampled with mist nets. Many of the sites surveyed were within 200 m of water (rivers, streams, beaver ponds, marshes), but less than 40% of the sites were actually abutting wetland habitat. Most sites surveyed were in stands of mixed conifers, and special effort was made to sample in old-growth and mature forest. Twelve mine adits at six sites were also investigated for bat use.

Bat activity was higher (P 300 m elevation in the Washington Cascades, but were common at elevations >300 m in the Oregon Coast Range), and reductions in old-growth forests may have a more severe impact on populations of breeding bats in theOregon Coast Range.

Analysis of a 15-m radius plot around each roost tree revealed that roost sites had significantly less closure of over story canopy, less understory, and shorter understory vegetation than comparable random plots.

The relationship between weight of guano and size of hollow suggests that forests lacking trees large enough to contain these hollows will provide fewer roosting opportunities that could affect the abundance and diversity of bats.

Results of Genter (1986), Marcot (1984), and Senger et al. (1974) suggest that hibernacula in the Pacific Northwest may contain larger bat populations than reported by Twente (1960), prompting a more extensive search that included most of Oregon and Washington.
