Regional variation in body condition of the endangered little brown bat
Fat stores affect the ability of bats to survive white-nose syndrome (WNS), but disease models that account for bat body condition (i.e., fat stores) do not yet account for intraspecific variation in body size of susceptible bats. We will use a large dataset to test how previously described body size variation across the North American range of little brown bats may also affect their relative body conditions, and therefore their vulnerability to bat WNS.
