This article, titled "Going Batty" by Ruth Gilmore Ingulsrud, discusses the importance of bats in ecosystems and the challenges they face. Bats play a crucial role in pollinating fruit and controlling insect populations. However, their populations have been drastically reduced due to a fungal infection called white-nose syndrome. This is concerning because bats are slow to recover, with females giving birth to only one baby bat per year. The article highlights the need to protect and appreciate bats for their ecological contributions. [Extracted from the article] |
