DCIS Lecture Series: White-note syndrome in southeastern bats
Channel: Delaware County Institute of Science
Date: 2022-12-18

Full title: The energetic impacts of disease: a case study of white-nose syndrome in southeastern bats.

Speaker: Dr. Catherine Haase (Austin Peay State University)

This talk took place via Zoom on Monday, December 12, 2022. This talk was recorded and posted with permission.

Description: Many North American bats are facing serious threats from changing environments and disease. White-nose syndrome is one of those threats and has impacted many species of bats across North America, leading to mortality in millions of bats since its first observation in 2006. Dr. Haase discussed basic biology of bats, their ecological and economic importance, how white-nose syndrome impacts hibernating bats through behavioral changes leading to energetic losses, and the current research working to help combat this disease.
