Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    Summary of Bat Research in Beaver Creek Valley State Park, MN 2016
    (University of Minnesota Duluth, 2016-12) Swingen, Morgan; Spak, Christi; Nordquist, Gerda; Baker, Richard
    Crews from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources captured eight bats in Beaver Creek Valley State Park on June 18th, 2016. Bats of four species were captured during mist-netting surveys. We captured four individuals of our target species, the northern long-eared bat, and attached transmitters to two pregnant adult females. These two bats were tracked to 7 unique roost trees of 6 species over 5 days. During emergence surveys we counted from 2 to 71 bats emerging from these roost trees. Roost trees varied in both DBH and height, as well as decay stage. The roosting patterns we observed at Beaver Creek Valley State Park were similar to roosting patterns we have observed in other areas of Minnesota, where bats appear to be using a variety of available trees. This report details work done in Beaver Creek Valley State Park as part of a statewide study of northern long-eared bats. A report summarizing results of the statewide project will be available in early 2017

    Summary of Bat Research in Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park, MN 2016
    (University of Minnesota Duluth, 2016-12) Swingen, Morgan; Swingen, Morgan; Spak, Christi; Nordquist, Gerda; Baker, Richard
    Crews from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources captured 86 bats in Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park from June 7th–10th, 2016. Bats of 4 species were captured during mist-netting surveys. We captured six individuals of our target species, the northern long-eared bat, and attached a transmitter to one pregnant female. This bat was tracked to 5 unique roost trees of 3 species. During emergence counts we counted from 1 to 16 bats emerging from these roost trees. Roost trees varied in both DBH and height, as well as decay stage. The roosting patterns we observed at Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park were similar to roosting patterns we have observed in other areas of Minnesota, where bats appear to be using a variety of available trees.

    Summary of Bat Research in Whitewater State Park and WMA, MN 2016
    (University of Minnesota Duluth, 2016-12) Swingen, Morgan; Spak, Christi; Nordquist, Gerda; Baker, Richard
    Crews from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources captured 51 bats in Whitewater State Park and WMA from June 15th–18th, 2016. Bats of 2 species were captured during mist-netting surveys. We captured five individuals of our target species, the northern long-eared bat, and attached transmitters to four pregnant females. These four bats were tracked to 11 unique roost trees of 7 species. During emergence counts we counted from 1 to 28 bats emerging from these roost trees. Roost trees varied in both DBH and height, as well as decay stage. The roosting patterns we observed at Whitewater State Park and WMA were similar to roosting patterns we have observed in other areas of Minnesota, where bats appear to be using a variety of available trees. This report details work done in Whitewater State Park and WMA as part of a statewide study of northern long-eared bats.
