Summary

Hoary bats are among the bat species most commonly killed by turbine strikes in the midwestern United States. The impact of this mortality on species census size is not understood, due in part to the difficulty of estimating population size for this highly migratory and elusive species. Genetic effective population size (Ne) could provide an index of census population size if other factors affecting Ne are stable. In support of this and other population-genetic studies, we analyzed two temporally spaced cohorts: 96 hoary bats collected in 2009-2010 and an additional 96 collected in 2017-2018. Samples consisted of wing clips removed from archived carcasses and were obtained by agreement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the sponsor [...]
