Abstract
The distribution of Myotis lucifugus lucifugus is discussed and the first known maternity colonies from Kentucky are reported. Three colonies examined contained much higher proportions of adult males than are found in northern colonies. Parturition dates ranged from May 21 to beyond June 21. Banding recoveries of distances up to 35 miles are reported. Maternity colonies of M. lucifergus appear to be scarce and local but widely distributed in Kentucky.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
