This leads based on oversimplified bat ecology with no way of incorporating those knowledge gaps. Ecological neighborhoods space used by single organism group organisms during time period interest. I about behavior pallid bats (Antrozous pallidus) create an ecological neighborhood for colony central Nevada compared created empirical data collected from same individuals. also present method ranking conservation value that incorporates differences quality. demonstrated how identify potential conflicts natural resource management, quantify habitat loss, monitor cumulative impacts.
