Previous studies have shown that bat activity is greater along forest-clearcut edges than in the center of clearcuts or in the forest interior. Residual patches of trees in logged areas may also provide habitat for bats. To investigate this, we monitored bat activity at three locations within cutblocks: along the outside edge of the forest cutblock, in the center of the clearcut portion of the cutblock and along the outside edge of the residual patches of trees, at the EMEND (Ecosystem Management by Emulating Natural Disturbance) study site in northern Alberta, during the summer of 2000. Our results indicate that small maneuverable species such as Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis were equally active along the edge of residual patches and the forest edge of cutblocks and least active in the center of cutblocks. Larger species, such as Lasionycteris noctivagans, showed no preference. Thus, patches of residual trees provide commuting habitat, and potentially foraging habitat, for bats.
