Description
These bats are not impacted by white-nose syndrome in a vacuum threats like wind-turbine mortality- habitat loss- and declining prey availability act synergistically with compounding impacts. In developing maximum efficacy conservation plans- IT is essential to meaningfully understand the genomic profile of each species of concern. The life history of little brown bats (myotis lucifugus) (e.g. long life span- low reproductive rates- large sociality-driven congregations at limited roosting and or hibernacula sites etc.) may place them in a particularly precarious position- perhaps predisposing them to entering into extinction vortices. Their marked population decline has had both practical (i.e.- loss of ecosystem services provided) and potentially legal (i.e.- increased listing considerations under state and federal endangered species legislation) implications. Given this- a range-wide population genomic assessment of little brown bats is imperative to set baseline population genomic parameters in the age of white-nose syndrome- delineate populations subpopulations- examine subspecies presence- determine levels of gene flow genomic connectivity among populations and between hibernacula and summer colonies- assess the impacts of anthropogenic stressors on genomic health- and estimate effective population sizes across scales. These data will inform regional- and range-wide- strategies for the conservation of little brown bats in hopes of extending their evolutionary history for generations to come.
