Disease Status, Occupancy, and Relative Activity of Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus) in the Northeastern United States
… has caused catastrophic declines in several North American bat species, including >90% losses in Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus). Because small, remnant populations persist across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, there are key questions about their continued vulnerability to WNS or other …
