Conservation studies of long-nosed bats (Leptonycteris) in New Mexico - Mist netting data

Description:
Abstract:
Three species of nectar- and pollen-feeding bats are unique among an otherwise insectivorous bat fauna in the Southwest, and are of critical importance in health and maintenance of natural ecosystems in the borderland area. Two (lesser long-nosed bat, Leptonycteris curasoae, and the greater long-nosed bat, L. nivalis) of the three species are listed as Endangered under the Endangered Species Act. There is currently little scientific knowledge on the distribution, abundance, and food habits of Leptonycteris in New Mexico. Bats are captured in mist nests to gather information on the distribution and occurrence of Leptonycteris in New Mexico.
Purpose:
To study distribution, occurrence, population status, feeding ecology, movement patterns, and activities of Leptonycteris; and to assess the distribution, abundance, status, and phenology of known or potential food plants and the level of grazing by wildlife and domestic livestock on these plants. The mist netting data will be used to assess the distribution, occurrence, roosting ecology, foraging behavior, and activity patterns of Leptonycteris in New Mexico.
