The deadly white-nose syndrome has wiped out almost all northern long-eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis), little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) and tri-colored bats (Perimyotis subflavus) in North America in the past decade. These findings come from …
Little brown bats that survive the deadly white-nose syndrome have different genes than those that have died from it, researchers found, suggesting an evolutionary path for bats to survive a disease that has decimated bat …
The fungus that causes white-nose syndrome thrives in warmer areas — the same temperatures that little brown bats prefer to hibernate in. That can create an “ecological trap” for the bats, researchers say. “We do …
Tests have confirmed the presence of the fungus that causes the deadly white-nose syndrome in bats for the first time in Montana. The presence Pseudogymnoascus destructans, or Pd, was confirmed in samples taken from bridges …
North Dakota wildlife officials say a group of bats there died of white-nose syndrome, the first known cases in the state. The little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) were found in Medora, in western North Dakota. …
Some bats are developing adaptations to white-nose syndrome that allow them to survive the deadly disease, according to a recent study. Comparing little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) that died from the disease with those that …
Attics don’t just provide a place to stash old record collections and keepsakes. In Yellowstone National Park, they provide the perfect place for female bats to weather cold summers, and they may help protect them …
Big brown bats may be taking over the ecological food niche of little brown bats due to the latter’s greater susceptibility to a deadly fungal pathogen. “We’ve gone from a niche separation to an overlap,” …
Under the best of circumstances, bats can be tricky to study. In North Dakota, where caves are few and bats may roost wherever they can find a rocky crevice, it can be even trickier. “They’re …
Hoary bat numbers are plummeting in the Pacific Northwest, according to a recent study, raising concerns about the ability of the species to survive throughout the United States as growing numbers are found dead at …
