We anesthetized and blood sampled wild big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) in Fort Collins, Colorado (USA) in 2001 and 2002 and assessed, effects on survival. Inhalant anesthesia was delivered into a specially designed restraint and inhalation capsule that minimized-analing and bite exposures. Bats were immobilized an average of 9.1 +/- 5.1 (SD) min (range 1-71, n=876); blood sample volumes averaged 58 +/- 12 mu d (range 13-126, n=718). We randomly selected control (subject to multiple procedures before release) and treatment (control procedures plus:inhalant anesthesia and 1% of body weight blood sampling) groups in 2002 to assess treatment effects on daily survival over a 14-day period for adult female and volant juvenile bats captured at maternity roosts in buildings. We-monitored survival, after release using passive integrated transponder tag detection hoops placed at, openings to selected roosts. Annual return rates of bats sampled in 2001 were used to assess long-term outcomes. Comparison of 14-day maximum-likelihood daily survival estimates from control (86 adult females, 92 volant juveniles) and treated bats;(187, adult females, 87 volant juveniles) indicated no adverse effect from anesthesia and blood sampling (juveniles: chi(2)=22.22,. df-27, P > 0.05; adults: chi(2)=9.72, df=18, P > 0.05)., One-year return rates were similar among adult female controls (81%, n=72, 95% confidence interval [CI]=70-91%), females treated once (82%, n=276, 95% CI=81-84%), and females treated twice (84%, n=50, 95%CI=74-94%). Lack of an effect was also rioted in 1-yr return rates of juvenile female controls (55%, n=29, 95% CI=37-73%), juveniles treated once (66%, n=113, 95% CI=58-75%), and juveniles treated twice (71%, n=17, 95% CI=49-92%). These data suggest that anesthesia and blood sampling for health monitoring did not measurably affect survival of adult female and volant juvenile big brown bats.
