Summary

We examined Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus semotus) presence and foraging activity at Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge and Lāupahoehoe Forest Reserve on Hawai‘i Island during the 2013 koa moth (Geometridea: Scotorythra paludicola) outbreak. Hawaiian hoary bat echolocation vocalizations were recorded at seven acoustic stations between 1069 and 1200 m above sea level that operated nightly from May 2013 through September 2013. We compared these data to data collected at similar locations during 2007-2011 to determine the response of bats to increased moth abundance during 2013. In this abstract we refer to the Hawaiian hoary bat as a full species, Lasiurus semotus, following updated taxonomy for Hawaiian hoary bats (Pinzari et al. [...]

Purpose

The objective of the data collection was to document bat presence and foraging activity by recording Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus semotus) echolocation vocalizations at Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge and Lāupahoehoe Forest Reserve during the koa moth (Geometridea: Scotorythra paludicola) outbreak from May to September 2013 and compare to pre-outbreak data collected during 2007-2011.
