AEDC team members assist with bat research
John Lamb, left, a biologist with Arnold Air Force Base, swabs the muzzle and forearm of a tricolored bat in a cave near Arnold AFB, Tennessee, Dec. 5, 2022, to contribute to a study by Virginia Tech concerning white-nose syndrome. The fungus that causes the disease infects multiple bat species and has caused significant declines in the population of some.
