ComBATing Ecological Challenges
Abstract
Bats are a vital part of ecosystems serving as pollinators, pest control, and seed dispersers for important crops. Some bat populations have been declining due to one of the worst wildlife diseases in modern history, Pseudogymnoascus destructans - more commonly known as white-nose syndrome. Dr. Amy Turner and the Sewanee Bat Study group have collected years of data on the behavior and habitats of local bat species. The goals of this project include: analyzing the trends in frequencies in bat activity across time and management areas to see which locations are crucial for bats, what land management practices are harmful or helpful, and what species seem to be thriving or not.
