peer agreement (net): +1(known as/called) transit / stop-over caves Explanation: Gray bats hibernate during the winter in special caves. Fall migration to the wintering caves begins around the first of September and is completed by early November. The one-way distance between the winter and summer caves may vary from as little as 16 kilometers to well over 322 kilometers. Transit or stop-over caves are used along the way. http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/informat... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 52 mins (2007-04-16 10:21:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or cavity rather than caves, as it could be a variety of places I suppose! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-04-16 11:01:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- soit dans des cavités dites **« de transit »**.

peer agreement (net): +1NFG Explanation: Julie has done the legwork so this is not for grading. I'm just a little suspicious of that German site, and feeling that they and the French may use their words for "cave/cavity" for want of a "better" word, like "roost": Previous surveys for bats should provide knowledge of the seasonal occupancy and type of roost (maternity colony, MIGRATORY STOPOVER, hibernaculum, breeding site, etc.) in order to plan the method and time of exclusion. http://www.blm.gov/aml/pdfs/EvictingBatsWhenGatesWontWork.pd...
