Fraser HR, Parker-Geisman V, Parish IV GR. 2007. Hawaiian hoary bat inventory in national parks on the Islands of Hawaii, Maui and Molokai. Technical Report 140. Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit, University of Hawaii at Manoa. Honolulu
As the only extant terrestrial mammal native to Hawaii, the hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus) is important to the biodiversity of vertebrate fauna in this highly isolated island ecosystem. Critical roosting and foraging habitat has not yet been designated for this subspecies. The Hawaiian hoary bat inventory has the following objectives: (1) determine presence/no detection of bats in national parks and adjacent areas on the islands of Hawaii, Maui and Molokai; (2) assess distribution and relative activity levels of bats in these national parks; and (3) suggest general associations between bats and select habitats and elevations.
