Melissa B. Meierhofer – “White Nose Syndrome: Understanding the Implications to Texas Bats”
Melissa Meierhofer joined the Texas A&M Institute of Renewable Natural Resources (IRNR) in 2015 as a research associate. Her research is focused on understanding the susceptibility of winter-roosting bats to white-nose syndrome, a cold-loving fungus that has caused the deaths of millions of hibernating bats, through studying bat winter activity, composition, abundance and environmental conditions within hibernacula across Texas.
