A field-ready, visual guide for US Western Bats by Bat Survey Solutions.
We sought out to simplify the process of in-hand bat identification by creating a dichotomous key that was not only intuitive, but also visually engaging. Whether you’re new to bats, or a seasoned bat biologist, we’ve incorporated aspects of several traditional bat identification guides with updated, high-quality photos and illustrations to provide a “flow-chart-style” key, making it easier than ever to assess and compare the morphology of the bat in hand, with the bat on paper.
Complete with range-maps, information on the impacts of White-nose Syndrome, and illustrated tips on how to effectively remove bats from a mist net, the US Western Bat Key is an essential tool in any bat worker’s repertoire.
