Hibernation has received considerable attention from physiologists and natural historians,
but theoretical and ecological treatments of hibernation are rarer. There is ample recent …

Manipulation of microclimates in caves and mines has gained renewed interest as a
conservation and management strategy for populations of hibernating bats devastated by …

Studies examining the overwintering behaviors of North American hibernating bats are
limited to a handful of species. We deployed temperature-sensitive transmitters on four …

Abstract White-nose syndrome (WNS), an epizootic disease caused by an invasive fungus,
threatens bat populations across North America. WNS-induced changes in summer bat …

White‐nose syndrome (WNS) is a fungal disease that has caused precipitous declines in
several North American bat species, creating an urgent need for conservation. We examined …

Habitat alteration can influence suitability, creating ecological traps where habitat
preference and fitness are mismatched. Despite their importance, ecological traps are …

Populations wax and wane over time in response to an organism's interactions with abiotic
and biotic forces. Numerous studies demonstrate that fluctuations in local populations can …

We document white‐nose syndrome (WNS), a lethal disease of bats caused by the fungus
Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), and hibernacula microclimate in New Brunswick …

Understanding animals' behavioral and physiological responses to pathogenic diseases is
critical for management and conservation. One such disease, white‐nose syndrome (WNS) …

Emerging mycoses are an increasing concern in wildlife and human health. Given the
historical rarity of fungal pathogens in warm-bodied vertebrates, there is a need to better …
