או מהיפותרמיה. נראה שהמחלה קיימת גם באירופה ובאסיה, אך שם היא קלה בהרבה, ואילו בצפון אמריקה קרסו מושבות שלמות בעונת חורף אחת. בקרב הקורבנות בצפון אמריקה בולטים נשפון חום (Myotis lucifugus), נשפון צפוני (Myotis septentrionalis) ועטלף תלת-צבעי (Perimyotis subflavus). ⬇️

Time to go survey for some wintering bats. Thankfully, the survey window was changed to accommodate the crappy cold, wet weather we are having and today looks like the weather will be tolerable.

Day 15 of #BatMas: Tricolour bat (Perimyotis subflavus)🦇🌎🧪

A species listed as Endangered in Canada & unfortunately affected by the fungal disease white-nose syndrome (pic - on the bats face). This disease can cause >99% mortality for populations & is spreading across N. America

The tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) is an insectivorous bat found across North America. Similar to the little brown bat and others, they are vulnerable to a fungal disease called white nose syndrome. There is no cure. If you see a bat with a white nose, it may be inching toward death. (1/?)
