The persistence of populations declining from novel stressors depends, in part, on their ability to respond by trait change via evolution or plasticity. White-nose syndrome (WNS) has caused rapid declines several North America bat species disrupting hibernation behaviour, leading body fat depletion and starvation. However, some Myotis lucifugus now persist with WNS unknown mechanisms. We examined whether M. lucifigus could be explained increased early winter, which would allow bats tolerate...
The correspondence of the American poet, Marianne Moore, which a selection is published in this volume, documents first two-thirds literary and intellectual life 20th century from Victorian to modernist culture, experience two world wars, Depression post-war prosperity America, changing face arts continents. Moore's interests embraced all arts, as well religion, politics, psychology, fashion, sport domestic scene.
A conference entitled ‘2nd International Berlin Bat Meeting: Biology and Infectious Diseases’ was held between the 19 21 of February 2010 in Berlin, Germany. Researchers from two major disciplines, bat biologists disease specialists, met for first time an interdisciplinary event to share their knowledge about bat-associated diseases. The focus meeting understand why particular bats are hosts so many most virulent diseases globally. During several sessions, key note speakers participants...
This study examines mercury exposure in bats across the northeast U.S. from 2005 to 2009. We collected 1,481 fur and 681 blood samples 8 states analyzed them for total Hg. A subset (n = 20) are also methylmercury (MeHg). Ten species of represented this which two protected by Endangered Species Act (ESA 1973) other pending review. There four objectives paper: (1) examine correlates differences fur-Hg levels among all sampling sites, including age, sex, species, presence a Hg point source; (2)...
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is an emerging infectious disease devastating hibernating North American bat populations that caused by the psychrophilic fungus Geomyces destructans. Previous histopathological analysis demonstrated little evidence of inflammatory responses in infected bats, however few studies have compared other aspects immune function between WNS-affected and unaffected bats. We collected bats from confirmed sites during winter 2008-2009 estimates their circulating levels total...
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is the most devastating condition ever reported for hibernating bats, causing widespread mortality in northeastern United States. The characterized by cutaneous lesions caused a recently identified psychrophilic and keratinophylic fungus (Geomyces destructans), depleted fat reserves, atypical behavior, damage to wings; however, proximate cause of still uncertain. To assess relative levels immunocompetence bats WNS-affected sites compared with unaffected we describe...
Abstract Ecological understanding of host–pathogen dynamics is the basis for managing wildlife diseases. Since 2008, federal, state, and provincial agencies tribal private organizations have collaborated on bat white‐nose syndrome (WNS) surveillance monitoring, research, management programs. Accordingly, scientists managers learned a lot about hosts, pathogen, WNS. However, effective mitigation measures to combat WNS remain elusive. Host–pathogen systems are complex, identifying ecological...
Reduced populations of Myotis lucifugus (Little Brown Myotis) devastated by white-nose syndrome (WNS) persist in eastern North America. Between 2009 and 2013, we recaptured 113 marked individuals that survived between 1 6 winters New England since the arrival WNS. We also observed signs reproductive success 57 bats.
Abstract Urbanization that occurs across a gradient from low‐ to high‐density development, is primary driver of landscape change can affect biodiversity. Animals balance trade‐offs in obtaining resources and avoiding anthropogenic disturbances the urbanization maximize their fitness. However, additional research necessary understand seasonal variations how animals respond urbanization, particularly arid regions, where resource availability shifts drastically seasons. Our objective was...
More than 30 years after her death, Marianne Moore continues to be one of America's best-loved poets, and is now regarded as the most significant influential voices 20th century. However, inaccurately titled Complete Poems (Faber Faber, 1968), from which poet decided omit nearly half published poetry - omissions are not accidents gave readers only a partial view work. The Moore, scrupulously edited by Grace Schulman, for first time includes all Moore's poems, among them more 100 previously...
