Abstract:
There are thirteen species of bats living in Western North Carolina. Some are migratory bats; others are cave bats. It is the cave bat that concerns scientists most because many of them are afflicted with a mysterious ailment called the white-nose syndrome. The disease has already killed hundreds of thousands of bats in the eastern part of the United States. The disease was first discovered in Albany, NY, in 2006. Scientists in the state are searching for an answer to the disease using the North Carolina Bat Acoustic Monitoring Program.
