Bat studies include habitat assessments to identify areas that bats may use to roost, forage, raise their young, and hibernate, as well as studies that record and analyze bat echolocation calls to determine if a habitat is being used by bats and, if so, what species are present. Bats in Canada include both migratory species (bats who travel from one habitat to another during different times of the year) and resident species that hibernate in caves or cave-like features.
