Table 2 Species richness documented through active acoustic and mist-net sampling in National Park Service National Capital Region units 2003–2004 and 2016–2018. Species lost indicate species that were documented 2003–2004 but not 2016–2018. Species gained are those species documented in 2016–2018 but not 2003–2004. Note that sample effort by unit was not equal between 2003 and 2004 and 2016–2018. Unit abbreviations are: Antietam National Battlefield (ANTI), Catoctin Mountain Park (CATO), Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park (CHOH), George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP), Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (HAFE), Manassas National Battlefield Park (MANA), Monocacy National Battlefield (MONO), National Capital Parks-Central [now National Mall and Memorial Parks (NAMA)], National Capital Parks-East (NACE), Rock Creek Park (ROCR), and Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts (WOTR). Species abbreviations are: Eptesicus fuscus (Big Brown bat; EPFU), Lasiurus borealis (Eastern Red bat; LABO), Lasiurus cinereus (Hoary bat; LACI), Lasionycteris noctivagans (Silver-haired bat; LANO), Myotis leibii (Eastern Small-footed bat; MYLE), Myotis lucifugus (Little Brown bat; MYLU), Myotis septentrionalis (Northern Long-eared bat; MYSE), Nycticeius humeralis (Evening bat; NYHU) and Perimyotis subflavus (Tri-colored bat; PESU)

From: White-nose syndrome-related changes to Mid-Atlantic bat communities across an urban-to-rural gradient
