The Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) has been federally listed as endangered since 1967, highlighting the ongoing need for effective conservation strategies.

Recent studies suggest that larger trees might provide more suitable habitats for these bats, potentially enhancing their recovery efforts.

Understanding the relationship between tree size and habitat quality is crucial for the future of Indiana bats and biodiversity conservation as a whole.
