BATS

                         FUNGUS

                             EXTINCTION

Author: Magdalena Wnuk
What is white-nose syndrome?
A) Greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis
   myotis) with white fungal growth
   around its muzzle, ears, and wing
   membranes.




B) Scanning electron micrograph of a
   bat hair colonized by Geomyces
   destructans.
 Scale bar = 10 ¦Ìm.
How does WNS kill bats?

1) a white fungus that grows on the nose, ears and wing membranes

2) depleted fat reserves due to increased winter arousals long before bats

normally arouse from hibernation in the spring

3) a compromised immune response during hibernation

4) damage or scarring of the wings

5) abnormal bat behavior
Theory of bio-accumulation

Why is it so important for us?

Bats are a vital part of our ecosystem. A single bat can eat up to
600 insects a night. A decrease in the bat population eliminates
a natural pesticide for the insect population. In addition to
causing human discomfort, more insects also puts certain crops
and agricultural goods at risk.



  We should care about why                               the
         bats are dying...
Thank you for your attention
