Distribution of the spotted bat (Euderma maculatum) in Nevada, including notes on reproduction

摘要

The spotted bat (Euderma maculatum) has a wide geographic distribution, occurring from southern British Columbia to central Mexico. Its range includes one province in Canada, 11 states in the United States, and two states in Mexico (McMahon et al., 1979; Hall, 1981; Woodsworth et al., 1981; Finley and Creasy, 1982). Although this elusive bat typically is reported as locally rare (e.g., Fenton et al., 1987), there are places where many individuals have been captured; Easterla (1973) caught 54 E. maculatum in western Texas, and Poche (1981) caught 85 in southern Utah.
