a Sample coverage for arthropod prey detected in all nine bat species captured throughout hibernation (October–April) 2012/2013–2017/2018 at cave sites in middle and east Tennessee, U.S. b Sample coverage by species diversity for each of the nine bat species captured. Interpolation (solid line segments) and extrapolation (dashed line segments) estimates of sample coverage were calculated as a function of sampling units produced in package iNEXT. We used Hill number q = 0 to calculate curves for species richness. 95% confidence intervals for each estimate are represented in shaded areas. Species acronyms: CORA: Corynorhinus rafinesquii (Rafinesque’s big-eared bat), EPFU: Eptesicus fuscus (big brown bat), LABO: Lasiurus borealis (red bat), MYGR: Myotis griscesens (gray bat), MYLE: Myotis lebii (eastern small-footed bat), MYLU: Myotis lucifugus (little brown bat), MYSE: Myotis septentrionalis (northern long-eared bat), MYSO: Myotis sodalis (Indiana bat), and PESU: Perimyotis subflavus (tri-colored bat)
