Patterns of acoustical activity of bats prior to and 10 years after WNS on Fort Drum Army Installation, New York
April 16, 2019
Previous acoustic surveys, netting, and count data have shown that overall bat activity patterns have shifted among most species between pre- and post-white-nose syndrome (WNS) years in much of North America where WNS has occurred. However, the significance of these changes is based on the species-specific susceptibility to WNS. We used acoustically recorded echolocation passes obtained at Fort Drum, New York to describe changes in bat activity pre-WNS (2004–2007) to post-WNS (2008–2018). We examined seasonal and yearly changes in bat activity as they relate to the presence of WNS at hibernacula near (
