MEDICAL: DISEASES :
ANIMALS: BATS:
Little Brown Bats Could Disappear In The Northeast



Little Brown Bats Could Disappear In The Northeast
August 6, 2010 NPR
<http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129031005>




Reporting in Science, researchers write that little brown bats, or Myotis lucifugus, are likely to disappear from the Northeast over the next 16 years. Study author Winifred Frick discusses white-nose syndrome, which is associated with die-offs and caused by a fast-moving fungus.


IRA FLATOW, host:


This is SCIENCE FRIDAY from NPR. I'm Ira Flatow.


You know, species die out all over the world in remote places we never heard about, but there is one species that is dying right before our eyes, in our lifetime. We've been talking about it for years on this program, and now a group of scientists writing in the journal Science says there's a 99 percent chance little brown bats, once a very common species, may be extinct in the Northeast within the next 16 years.


What's killing them? Is it this fungus we see on the bats, the white-nose syndrome? Or is that just a symptom of some deeper problem? Scientists have spotted infected bats as far west as Oklahoma now. Could this infection soon threaten bats all over the continent? That's what we'll be talking about at the beginning of this hour, our number, 1-800-989-8255. You can tweet us, @scifri, and join the discussion on our website at sciencefriday.com.


Let me introduce my guest. In fact, we have up on the Web page a bat video, a tour of a bat cave where the bats were falling victim to white-nose disease, up there on our website. You can take a look at that. We did a couple years ago. That's how long this has been around.


Winifred Frick is a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California Santa Cruz and Boston University. She joins us from the studios at Boston University today. Welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY, Dr. Frick.
