Sentence examples for from hibernacula from inspiring English sources

In the summer of 2014 and winter of 2015, we collected 385 samples from hibernacula surfaces at 12 sites in 3 provinces and 1 municipality and 215 samples from 9 species of bats at 10 sites (summer: Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Rhinolophus pusillus, Myotis adversus, Myotis macrodactylus, Myotis pilosus, Myotis chinensis, Murina usseriensis; winter: R. ferrumequinum, Murina leucogaster, Myotis petax).

As the sun lengthens the days and warms the ground, adders emerge from their hibernacula more frequently and can be spotted sunning themselves in coastal heaths and scrub.

The bats prematurely emerge from the hibernacula and attempt to forage, which in winter conditions causes frostbite and subsequent necrosis of the wing membranes [8].

Another contributing factor to decreased survival could be that disturbance of the normal hibernation pattern leads to pre-mature departure of the affected animals from the hibernacula.

To test the hypothesis of significant changes in population size, we used data collected over years 1995 to 2008 from 106 hibernacula, and extrapolated the time trends to 2009 and 2010.

Not all bats examined from the affected hibernacula show all signs of WNS, thus raising the possibility that there exists a subclinical form or stage of WNS, which may or may not have originated in the hibernacula.

Environmental distribution of G. destructans also is poorly understood, but the pathogen has been detected in soil samples (15 ), and viable spores have been collected from cave walls in bat hibernacula (12 ), both factors that suggest the fungus has abiotic reservoirs.

Declines probably resulted from disease-related deaths because high hibernacula site fidelity makes emigration unlikely (10 ) and substantial numbers of dead bats were observed at both sites.

The first noticeable bat declines in winter hibernacula were observed in 2006 from Hailes and Knox Caves, and Gage and Schoharie Caverns, situated within a 12-km radius of the Albany metropolitan area in upstate New York.

By the end of the second winter, 109 (98%) of 111 bats were positive for P. destructans, and P. destructans was present throughout the hibernacula (in 91% of samples from under bats, 66% of samples near bats, and 44% of samples far from bats).

However, by the end of the first winter, P. destructans was present on hibernacula substrate under bats, probably resulting from bats shedding P. destructans into the environment.
