Abstract excerpt
Conservation successes for the endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) in the early 2000s were largely reversed by white-nose syndrome (WNS), a novel fungal disease that emerged in North America in 2006. Impacts have been variable among Indiana bat colonies leading to uncertainty regarding the full impact of WNS on this species. However, many colonies maintain negative population growth, threatening long-term...
