Abstract
Abstract The flat-headed myotis (Myotis planiceps) was declared extinct in 1996 but rediscovered in 2004, thus the reference to a revenant, one who came back from the dead, as it was declared extinct in 1996 but rediscovered in 2004. However, the species still faces serious extinction risk. To aid in the strategic planning and priorities for conservation, we studied roosting ecology. These bats inhabit the Chihuahuan Desert in one of the smallest distributional ranges of any mammal. Using radiotelemetry, we located 25 summer roosts, all in the skirts of dry leaves of yucca trees (Yucca carnerosana). We conclude that to roost, these bats search for clumps of tall yucca trees with a mean height of 3.93 m and mean width of skirts of 1.35 m.
