Determine best management practices for conserving populations of little brown bats in agricultural landscapes at the leading edge of white-nose syndrome (WNS) in the Northern Great Plains. Project will identify how agricultural practices and exposure to pesticides influence bat activity, condition, survival and reproductive success. Research will be used to inform more effective targeting of conservation strategies for bat populations affected by white-nose syndrome.
