摘要: Abstract Between December 2012 and April 2013, bats were observed flying during daylight hours throughout the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Although some displayed typical foraging drinking behavior, others appeared sick or incapable of flying, erratically, one collided with a hiker. These observations tended to be reported on warmer-than-average days. Nine collected tested negative for rabies; 6 that White-nose Syndrome (WNS) via histology all diagnosed as WNS positive. An additional not rabies also We hypothesize becoming increasingly active emerging from hibernacula due WNS.
