Bats and Forests Symposium， October 19-21， 1995 Victoria， British Columbia， Canada. Part A.

Until recently， the majority of ecological research on microchiropteran bats， and in particular vespertilionids in temperate parts of the world， was biased towards species and situations where aggregations occurred in human-made structures (buildings and mines). However， significant progress has been made to address questions about the ecology of temperate， insect-eating bats living in more “natural” situations. Even so， our knowledge about how bats use and interact with forest ecosystems is still in its infancy.　 Contents SECTION I THE BIG PICTURE Natural Disturbance Regimes as Templates for Boreal Forest Harvest/D.
