WNS Research
White Nose Syndrome (WNS) is a fungus, Geomyces sp. which
attaches to the muzzles and wings of bats, and is linked to the rapidly
receding bat population. Dr. Barrass and the students involved with the
WNS research have been monitoring bats in Dunbar Cave since January
2006, and survey the cave on a monthly basis. Transect monitors have
been placed throughout select areas in Montgomery County in order to
gather data about changes in the bat population.
