  FOSSIL BATS OF THE AMERICAS
The presence of Tadarida-like teeth in the early Miocene of Florida and definite fossils of Tadarida from the late Pliocene of Florida and the early to medial Pleistocene of Kentucky, New Mexico, and West Virginia, suggest that the New World representatives of this genus may have originated in North America.
Tadarida, Mormopterus, or a closely related genus may have immigrated to North America from Eurasia across the Bering isthmus in the early Miocene or before.
Several species of Tadarida and Mormopterus are known from Oligocene and Miocene sites in Europe and Asia (Legendre 1984b).

One major cave populations of Tadarida, the free-tailed bat, has dropped to 1% of its number of 10 years ago, while populations of 22 different species have declined in part or in all of their ranges.
Tadarida suffers extreme exposure to organochlorine pesticides during foraging flights and seasonal migrations.
Distrubance by scientists engaged in banding and other research activities and by spelunkers inadvertently is identified as a factor in the decline.

 ARS | Publication request: Variation in the Echolocation Calls of Brazilian Free-Tailed Bats, Tadarida Brasiliensis
Technical Abstract: As with numerous other characteristics of their ecology, behavior, and physiology, Brazilian free-tailed bats, Tadarida brasiliensis, show remarkable variability and plasticity in their echolocation calls.
Earlier field and laboratory studies documented that Tadarida exhibit the whole range of echolocation signals excluding very long constant-frequency (CF) signals, found among all other Microchiropteran bats.
Calls recorded from 32 light-tagged, hand-released T. brasiliensis document a diverse suite of calls, including frequency-modulated (FM) with several harmonics, FM tailing with CF, and short CF/FM.

 San Clemente Dam MTY
This species has been recorded at both Santa Lucia Preserve and Hastings Reservation, and it is the species that roosts in Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico, in the millions and is responsible for the famous dusk and dawn "bat flights" there.
Although Tadarida has a "free" tail, in most respects its tail is like that of other bats, it's just that the tail actually extends way beyond the edge of the membrane, while in other species, the tail only just extends beyond the edge of the membrane.
Furthermore, the tail is often tucked back under the animal, so you often can't see it in a photo, and it can be hard to see in the field unless you are very specifically looking for it.

Bats may roost in trees or may inhabit caves, buildings, or any structure that provides an overhang.
They are social animals, often roosting together in large swarms: one now-vanished colony of Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana), from the Carlsbad Caverns of New Mexico, was estimated to contain 9 million bats.
