The Mycobiome of Bats in the American Southwest is Structured by Geography, Bat Species, and Behavior

2022-10-13

Abstract excerpt

Bats are widespread mammals that play key roles in ecosystems as pollinators and insectivores. However, there is a paucity of information about bat-associated microbes, in particular their fungal communities, despite the important role microbes play in host health and overall host function. The emerging fungal disease, white-nose syndrome, presents a potential challenge to the bat microbiome and understanding heal...
