Long-distance movements of little brown bats

This article was just published on research done in Canada:

http://www.asmjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1 ... MM-A-065.1

Unfortunately I cannot see the whole article, just the abstract, but I thought this was noteworthy:

"some individuals switched sites between years and the median relocation distance was 315 km, with over 20% of individual movements exceeding 500 km. Surprisingly, we found that females were significantly more likely to relocate than males. Our data could help explain apparent jumps in the distribution of G. destructans, but more data on transmission of the fungus in the wild are needed."

What was expected all along, but not nearly as sensational as those stupid humans doing it!
