Myotis is from the Greek mys meaning ‘mouse’ and otis meaning ‘ear’.
physiological observations of neuromuscular, biome-chanical and cardiovascular systems indicating that ambush is how pike catch their prey (Ahlborn et al.

The little brown bat is the only Myotis species collected north of 59°N latitude and is widely distributed across Alaska in summer as indicated by museum records.

jcoleman@ucalgary.ca Influence of urbanization on demography of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) in the prairies of North America. The species name lucifugus is from 2 Latin words that translate as ‘light fleeing.’ This bat is also sometimes referred to as the little brown bat, which indicates its general appearance. Within a single species sampled across multiple states ( M. lucifugus ), site is very important in determining the beta-diversity of the bacterial community, as visualized in an NMDS ordination (stress = 0.14). Finally, we examined the effect of various levels of environmental Pd growth on colony survival. Approach and Methods of the Wildlife Action Plan to learn how this information was developed. The endangered little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) was once common in both urban centers and rural areas throughout temperate regions of North America, where the landscape has been highly altered by humans (Geggie and Fenton 1985, Gehrt and Chelsvig 2004, Sparks et al. Myotis lucifugus: 2: Silver-haired Bat: Lasionycteris noctivagans: 2: Big Brown Bat: Eptesicus fuscus: 1: Northern Long-eared Bat: Myotis septentrionalis: 1: Please see Section 2.
This species dominated bat assemblages throughout our study area, but nowhere more so than in the city. Little brown bats have been observed hibernating in Southeast Alaska and Kodiak Island. reflects dominance of M. lucifugas throughout our study area (Coleman and Barclay 2012). As with other myotis species in Alaska, little brown bats often roost in abandoned buildings and old mines; they may also be found roosting alone in trees or rock crevices.
