White-Nose Syndrome in bats:
Bat White-Nose Syndrome Research and Modeling: A Prelude to the NIMBioS Workshop, June 2009. A white-nose syndrome web conference, convened 24 June, 2009
The goal of the web conference was to provide background information on the current knowledge of WNS distribution and research, as well as to provide insight into the capabilities of the modeling approaches that we will be discussing at the NIMBioS workshop, 29 June – 1 July (see: http://www.nimbios.org/announcements/WS_Bats). The web conference was designed mainly as an orientation for the NIMBioS workshop participants, however, the information presented will be of interest to the broader WNS investigation community.
