An Annotated Checklist of Nebraskan Bats

"An Annotated Checklist of Nebraskan Bats" by Olin L. Webb is a scientific paper that inventories of bat species in Nebraska. Created in the early 1950s, the work is a collection of detailed research and specimen examinations. It summarizes existing knowledge about bats in the region by detailing their distributions and previous records. Bat species are presented by the examination of specimens and additional records that come from collected literature. Important habitats, like the limestone quarries of Cass and Sarpy counties, are highlighted, indicating where certain species hibernate. The authors present newly reported species and give historical context for the study of bats in Nebraska. This serves as a resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike, illustrating gaps in knowledge regarding bat populations in Nebraska, and suggesting further exploration and study.
