As wind energy development increases around the world, the spinning turbines can be deadly to bats, and the ecosystem services that bats provide—like pest control—are lost with them. Researchers in Germany already knew that bats …
“We wanted to know where the transmission of this pathogen might occur,” said Chris Cornelison an assistant professor of microbiology in the department of molecular and cellular biology at Kennesaw State University. Cornelison’s master’s student …
Increasing rates of vaccination among wildlife managers and mask use has likely reduced the risk of transmission of coronavirus from humans to the bats they work with. Bats can carry a number of coronaviruses, and …
Citing the escalation of white-nose syndrome, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to reclassify the threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The northern long-eared bat, a …
Researchers have begun to sequence the genes of rabies viruses detected in New England bats using a technique they say can provide important information about how rabies spreads and t be adapted to track other …
A little air-conditioning might help some bat populations better resist a deadly fungal pathogen. Bat populations have been dropping drastically due to white-nose syndrome across the eastern and central United States and in parts of …
The Wildlife Society Bulletin is a benefit of membership in The Wildlife Society. Published four times annually, it is one of the world’s leading scientific journals covering wildlife science, management and conservation, focusing on aspects of …
Offshore wind turbines likely affect some of the same migratory bat species impacted by wind farms on land. According to recent research, many of these strong-flying bats often use offshore routes on their migrations, which …
Research on bat populations in North America reveals how much they are declining in areas impacted by white-nose syndrome. The fungal disease has destroyed entire populations of bats in the United States and Canada. Bats …
Populations of several bat species plummeted in West Virginia due to the spread of the deadly white-nose syndrome over the past decade, according to long-term surveys. White-nose syndrome has decimated bat populations across much of …
