Two management concerns for bat boxes have surfaced in recent years: providing high-quality habitat in the context of suitable microclimates for females and their pups and seeing a return on investment in artificial structures through bat uptake of newly installed roosts. We installed novel artificial roosts in central Minnesota to evaluate methods of improving bat boxes as management tools. We addressed these questions in two research chapters. First, we compared temperature profiles between a standard rocket box design and two modified versions: a box insulated by an external water jacket and an elongated box with an attic space inaccessible to bats. We found the insulated design had lower maximum temperature differentials during the day, fewer overheating events, and retained warmer temperatures throughout the night compared to the reference and attic designs. These results indicate that insulation has the potential to improve the suitability of bat boxes for reproductive females and their pups and should be considered in guidelines for box design. Second, we tested social call playbacks as lures for increasing site activity and uptake of novel roosts. We recorded bat activity using acoustic detectors and monitored boxes using trail cameras and spotlight observations. Three bat species readily used the boxes regardless of lure treatment (Myotis lucifugus, Eptesicus fuscus, Lasionycteris noctivagans). While the lure was an important predictor of the number of bats in boxes, effect sizes were small, and bat occupancy overall was low regardless of lure treatment. The lure treatment positively increased the activity (calls/night) of the focal species, Myotis lucifugus, but did not affect the activity of other species that used boxes in our study. These results suggest that lures may help bats find and use novel roosts, but more work is needed to improve this methodology. We suggest that attraction to artificial habitats will depend on the quality and attractiveness of the habitat provided

    Using the Decoding the Disciplines Framework for Learning Across the Disciplines

    No full text
    This special issue demonstrates how “Decoding the Disciplines” not only provides a framework for inquiry into teaching and learning disciplinary concepts, but also holds much potential for bridging disciplinary thinking and teaching practice across disciplines, and serving as a tool for both teaching and curriculum development. In Chapter 1, together with our Faculty Learning Community (FLC) co-authors, we describe the “Decoding the Disciplines” FLC at Mount Royal University, including how it started as a faculty development initiative, and how it developed into various teaching, curriculum, and research projects which are presented in detail in subsequent chapters. We hope that others will use and extend this work to inform ways of thinking, practicing, and being for both teaching and learning in higher education.Academic Development Centre, Institute for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Mount Royal Universi

    Funding Information: The author would like to thank Juha Kinnunen and Riikka Korte for valuable discussions. The author would also like to thank the anonymous referee for carefully reading the paper and for constructive comments. The research was supported by the Academy of Finland. Publisher Copyright: © 2022, The Author(s).We study the so-called John–Nirenberg space that is a generalization of functions of bounded mean oscillation in the setting of metric measure spaces with a doubling measure. Our main results are local and global John–Nirenberg inequalities, which give weak-type estimates for the oscillation of a function. We consider medians instead of integral averages throughout, and thus functions are not a priori assumed to be locally integrable. Our arguments are based on a Calderón–Zygmund decomposition and a good-λ inequality for medians. A John–Nirenberg inequality up to the boundary is proven by using chaining arguments. As a consequence, the integral-type and the median-type John–Nirenberg spaces coincide under a Boman-type chaining assumption.Peer reviewe
