 However, changes in capture rates during summer in West Virginia and New Hampshire suggested declines from WNS may have been more severe (68-84%) in some regions.Due to their dependency on rare ecological features for roosting sites they may be at particularly high risk from mining, quarrying, oil and gas drilling and other mineral extraction, as well as logging, highway construction, wind energy and other forms of agricultural industrial and residential development that could threaten such sites.However, it is also likely that some of the above disturbances have also created roosting sites for the species by providing exposed rock faces.
