Indiana State University doctoral student Lizz Beilke holds a Indiana Bat after untangling the bat from a net on June 21 in the Morgan-Monroe State Forest. The group measured the bat's wingspan, took hair and guano samples. Later attached a radio transmitter to its back. The Indiana Bat is one species of bat that has been affected by white nose syndrome. It has decimated bat populations across North America. Introduced in New York in 2006, the fungus attacks bats when they hibernate during the winter. Noble Guyon
