http://biology.usgs.gov/wter/images/Graphite-mine-luci-3-6-08-b.jpg New Web Site on White-Nose Syndrome in Bats - In response to growing demand for publicly available information on WNS, the USGS Fort Collins Science Center recently developed and launched a Web site entitled, (External) White-Nose Syndrome Threatens the Survival of Hibernating Bats in North America . The site includes current information about the history, suspected dynamics, and possible implications of the disease, highlighting the role of the USGS in response to this wildlife crisis. 

For additional resources on White-Nose Syndrome (WNS), please visit the Wildlife: Terrestrial & Endangered Resources Program's White-Nose Syndrome Page >>

Science Center Locations

Map of USGS Science Center Locations The USGS BRD has science and technology centers located throughout the United States. Typically, activities are closely aligned with the diversity of biological resources near each center.

Science center researchers represent a broad mix of scientific disciplines. Areas of expertise include aquatic systems (toxic material and other stressors), botany, ecosystem analysis and modeling, fishery chemistry and management, forest management, genetics, invertebrate zoology, museum curation, nutrition, phenology, statistical design and analysis, taxonomy and systematics, toxicology, urban ecology, and wildlife habitat evaluation.
