Implication

Analysis reveals weak cross-taxa congruence and similar habitat responses in insectivorous bats and birds, suggesting limited use of birds as surrogates.

Key Points

Weak positive congruence was observed for species richness between bats and birds in eastern forests.
Birds displayed stronger responses to forest structure and habitat distribution compared to bats.
Principal component analysis indicated overlap between cavity-nesting birds and snag-roosting bats.
Findings emphasize limited utility of birds as surrogate indicators for bat conservation efforts.
