摘要: Abstract Myotis leibii (Eastern Small-footed Myotis) are infrequently encountered across their range, and as a result, little is known about summer roosting ecology. This species not federally protected, but receives legal protection in many states, including Tennessee. Additional information on the species, particularly its ecology, needed to inform appropriate management conservation planning. While conducting survey of multiple bat using buildings roosts Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we discovered Eastern 3 historic northwest slope Mount LeConte. At least 1 building contained maternity colony. Humans used all daily basis.
