Bats are essential to the health of ecosystems and act as biological control agents in agriculture, though questions pertaining to phenology, activity abundance, and how bats utilize agricultural landscapes remain. Urban agroecosystems offer a range of resources for bats and may provide quality foraging habitat, particularly when crops are structurally complex like orchards. By assessing bat activity and species richness within orchards and riparian areas of the Santa Clara River Valley in California, we can identify when peaks in bat activity correlate to insect abundance throughout the year including during the growing season. Studying timing and amount of bat foraging activity within an orchard can help growers with their timing of pest management and utilizing these native species to reduce damage caused by pests. Preliminary results show bat activity is highest within summer and beginning of fall, however activity peaks within these seasons differ among species. Having a higher diversity of bat species can potentially aid in insect population control in orchards and nearby riparian areas throughout most of the year. Managing orchards and surrounding areas to promote healthy bat communities and other native biological control agents can help reduce the need for pesticides on managed lands.
