(2017): Noteworthy Records For Six Species Of Bats From 13 Texas Counties And The First Voucher Specimens From Sites With Pseudogymnoascus Destructans. Occasional Papers of the Museum 351: 1-12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15748599 ABSTRACT Diseases that result in a regional loss of both species richness and genetic diversity highlight the importance of managing and building upon natural history collections.

Occurrence data and specimen vouchers can supplement information regarding distribution and genetic diversity prior to the potential expansion into Texas of the emerging disease known as white-nose syndrome. Herein, six species of bats from 13 counties in Texas are reported. A total of 10 new county records were documented for four species (Myotis velifer, Perimyotis subflavus, Eptesicus fuscus, and Corynorhinus townsendii).
