Bats Are Dying
Starting from one cave in New York state in 2006, the fungal infection that preys on hibernating bats, has killed more than 5.5 million bats in 19 states. The bat deaths could cost farmers $3.7 billion in losses, biologists estimate, given the flying mammals eat insect crop pests, such as beetles, and pollinate plants. Ref. Source 5
This reminds me of what was happening with the bees, now its the bats and which other creature will be next? Maybe this might have come out of some environmental pollution.
Lethal fungus that causes white-nose syndrome may have an Achilles' heel. In the course of genomic analyses of the fungus behind white-nose-syndrome, a devastating disease that has killed millions of bats in North America, US Forest Service scientists discovered something very surprising: brief exposure to UV-light kills Pseudogymnoascus destructans.
