Abstract
Ecological notes on Pipistrellus subflavus were obtained during the summers of 1949 through 1957 in West Virginia and Indiana. The center of abundance of this species is the Ohio River valley; Pipistrellus prefers watercourses at forest edges. Daylight hours are probably spent in trees. Myotis lucifugus and Pipistrellus are rarely found together on summer feeding grounds, but other bats, particularly Lasiurus borealis and Eptesicus fuscus, commonly feed with pipistrelles. Although considerable data have been published on the behavior and ecology of bats in their daytime roosts and hibernating quarters, there has been little study of their choice of feeding grounds and their behavior thereon. We present here observations on these aspects of the life history of the eastern pipistrelle (Pipistrellus subflavus) made during the summers of 1949 through 1957, in West Virginia and Indiana.
