Many bat species around the world are threatened because of habitat loss due to land development. This study looked at how foraging of insectivorous bats differed among four different localities including: agricultural, urban, and forested sites of two different elevations. Bio-acoustic recordings were done using an “Echo Meter Touch”. Species richness was recorded throughout the sites. Overall bat foraging activity was measured by the amount of individual bat calls, total duration of bat calls per location, and a Shannon’s index to compare activity between sites. A Chi-squared test was used to compare species richness, no significant differences were found between sites. I performed a modified t-test to compare the differences in H’ values...
