Table 3 The total number of each species captured (Total Captures), total per mist-net (Total), and mean and standard error (SE) of bat captures per mist-net 2003–2004 and 2016–2018 in the National Park Service National Capital Region. Mean change is the 2016–2018 mean minus the 2003–2004 mean of each species. P-values are from Pearson’s t-test. Bat species 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)
