A Global distribution of studies that examined relationships between bats and fire, and B inset of North American studies showing distribution of wildfire (triangle) and prescribed fire (star) studies. The underlying map shows fire potential, measured by the linear trend in the number of days annually that exceeded the 95th percentile of the Fire Weather Index over the years 1979–2019.
