Little Brown Bat Population TEST1

TEST1 Little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) populations in the Northeast are considered important indicators of long-term forest and ecosystem health because of their sensitivity to climate impacts. Currently, the majority of brown bat research addresses the white nose syndrome epidemic, but future studies on little brown bat as climate indicators are likely. Population metrics can be used to predict future trends in little brown bat populations.
