[OHIOBWG] Fw: Myotis lucifugus tissue for genetic analysis

[Katrina Schultes]

A grad student in Boston is looking for little brown bat wing biopsies 
(see below).  If you can help her, contact her directly.

Thanks,
Katrina

Myotis lucifugus tissue for genetic analysis






Hi Katrina,

I am a graduate student of Tom Kunz's at Boston University. I am 
conducting a rangewide population genetics study of Myotis lucifugus 
to better understand patterns of gene flow in this species and their 
association with the geographic spread of White-nose syndrome.

I have sampled pretty extensively in the northeastern portion of the 
species' range, and am now focusing on collecting samples from the 
Midwest and West. If you happened to have any stored M. lucifugus 
tissue that you would be willing to loan, I would be very grateful for 
the help and the bats would probably appreciate the minimized 
disturbance. If you don't have tissues on hand, do you know of people 
who will be out mist netting who might be able to collect wing 
biopsies or let me tag along to collect them? Alternatively, do you 
know of maternity colonies where I would likely catch luci's in Ohio 
or other states?

I appreciate any help or advice you may offer.

Thanks, Aryn
