LANO is another species of migratory tree bats thought to be affected by wind development. It is found in disproportionate numbers at wind facilities throughout its range (Arnett et al. 2008) and evidence indicates it may be attracted to turbines at some locations (Cryan 2008). Unknown species migratory population impacts as it applies to this threat.
