Abstract:
Only one published record of the gray bat (Myotis grisescens) from 1968 in North Carolina exists. Recently, gray bats have been documented more frequently during the summer months using a sonar detecting technique. Records indicate that the gray bat is more common and widespread in western North Carolina than previously known.

Abstract:
In the article the authors recounts the journey it took them to get into bat biology. The author recounts that as a child their dream career was to be an Olympic swimmer but in college when they were asked to choose a major they chose biology. The author talks about they were never the kind of kid that played in the woods or wildlife but came from a suburban life style. They talk about their interest in bat biology was inspired by their mentor from their junior named Dottie Brown when they were attending UNC Ashville. They talk about their time spent in the winter exploring caves to count hibernating bats and during the summer catching and recording bat calls.

Abstract:
Researchers at East Carolina University conducted a study of tiger beetle (Megacephela carolina carolina) behavioral responses to simulations of bat echo location calls. Results reveal a host of acoustic startle response behaviors, suggesting that tiger beetles may have evolved hearing organs as a direct result of the hunting pressures exerted by insectivorous bats.

Abstract:
Mary Kay Clark, curator of mammals at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, is the state's most active field researcher on bats. There are fifteen resident bat species in the state and about half of them live in caves or mines. The work of Clark and her assistants focuses on two rare and little-known forest-dwellers--the southeastern myotis and the big-eared bat.
