DOCUMENTATION OF AN URBAN WINTER ROOST OF THE SPOTTED BAT (EUDERMA MACULATUM)

Abstract We report the first documented use of a building as a winter roost by Euderma maculatum. We suggest that sufficient numbers of E. maculatum have been encountered in urban settings that researchers should consider these areas during the course of investigations of species occurrence. We recommend that urban settings in the vicinity of large cliff features be sampled systematically for the presence of E. maculatum.
