We
środę, 11 lipca o godzinie 12:00 w sali nr II Wydziału Biologii i Nauk o Ziemi UMK w Toruniu, profesor Craig L. Frank
z Fordham University w Nowym Jorku, USA wygłosi seminarium na temat "syndromu białego nosa" u nietoperzy. Jest to zjawisko spowodowane
przez grzyby Geomyces destructans, dziesiątkujące populacje
amerykańskich nietoperzy.
Więcej na temat Craiga Franka można znaleźć na jego stronie www. Ze swojej strony dodam, że jego główne zainteresowania badawcze dotyczyły związku między składem kwasów tłuszczowych a hibernacją gryzoni.
Poniżej więcej informacji na temat seminarium:
The over-winter mortality of hibernating bats and White Nose Syndrome (WNS).
White Nose Syndrome (WNS) greatly increases the over-winter mortality of little brown (Myotis lucifugus), Indiana (Myotis sodalis), northern (Myotis septentrionalis), and tricolored (Perimyotis subflavus) bats in eastern North American, and is caused by cutaneous infection with the fungus Geomyces destructans. Cutaneous infection with G. destructans causes bats to die during hibernation by disrupting their normal torpor patterns, which leads to the premature depletion of body fat reserves. This phenomenon was first observed during the winter of 2005-2006 at a single site, and has since spread to over 190 different hibernation sites. Cutaneous infections with Geomcyes destructans has since been found on the muzzles of four different species of bats (Myotis) in Europe during hibernation at multiple sites, but with no associated disruption of torpor patterns or mortality.
