Species Profile

Research has shown urban development to be deterimental to bats (Geggie and Fenton 1985, Kurta and Teramino 1992) and may result in declines in overall bat abundance and diversity (Pierson 1998). However, as this spcies is very uncommon in the state, urbanization is likely not a large threat.
