An Annotated Checklist of Nebraskan Bats

The authors compile an annotated checklist of bats documented in Nebraska, opening with a review of historical records and museum specimens and then presenting methods, species accounts, distributional notes, and specimen lists. Entries provide examined material, additional literature citations, and brief natural-history remarks, with attention to identification and taxonomic issues. The survey highlights several taxa reported from the state for the first time and describes notable habitat use, including hibernation in man-made limestone quarries. The work concludes with acknowledgments of collectors and institutional loans that supported the study.
