Description
Bat species diversity can be influenced by landscape features in both urban and natural areas, especially due to habitat fragmentation. The main objective of this study will be determining if bat species richness varies according to different patch sizes across three parks in Arcata, California. We hypothesized that the largest park would have the most species richness present, and if the number of species found at a particular site is higher than adjacent sites, then habitat maintenance for foraging and roosting opportunities can be concentrated toward that area.
