Two of the five subspecies of the western big-eared bat, Corynorhinus townsendii, are listed as federally endangered with the remaining three being of conservation concern. Knowing the degree of connectivity among populations would aid in the establishment of sound conservation and management plans for this taxon. For this purpose, we have developed and characterized eight polymorphic microsate...

Throughout the Midwest United States, agricultural and urban development have fragmented natural areas, with a disproportionate effect on forests wetlands. The resulting habitat loss, compounded spread of white-nose syndrome (WNS), has caused precipitous population declines in several forest-obligate bat species. In 2019, we discovered remnant northern long-eared (Myotis septentrionalis Trouess...
