Hawaiian Hoary Bat Monitoring - Pilot Data
Kozar K. 2009. Hawaiian Hoary Bat Monitoring - Pilot Data. Kelly Kozar
Insectivorous bats are known to be of economic importance, particularly as predators of pest insects. However, they also contribute largely to mammalian biodiversity, especially on geographically isolated islands. The endemic Hawaiian hoary bat is the only indigenous terrestrial mammal found in Hawaii and is the only extant bat established in the islands. Although the Hawaiian hoary bat was listed as an endangered species in 1970 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS 1970), much of this subspeciesa?? natural history continues to be poorly understood. The Hawaiian Hoary Bat Monitoring Protocol will assess the status and trends of Hawaiian hoary bat activity and distribution within selected areas of six network national parks. The overall goal of the PACN Hawaiian hoary bat monitoring program is to gather data that will advance scientific understanding of Hawaiian hoary bat distributions and use of national park areas and better inform resource management decisions
