The recent introduction of Pseudogymnoascus destructans (the fungal pathogen that causes
white-nose syndrome in bats) from Eurasia to North America has resulted in the collapse of …

Sensitivity analyses that assess the impact of changing vital rates on population growth have
been widely used to guide conservation. If implemented with caution, they can provide …

The persistence of populations declining from novel stressors depends, in part, on their
ability to respond by trait change via evolution or plasticity. White‐nose syndrome (WNS) …

Disease dynamics during pathogen invasion and establishment determine the impacts of
disease on host populations and determine the mechanisms of host persistence. Temporal …

Increases in anthropogenic movement have led to a rise in pathogen introductions and the
emergence of infectious diseases in naive host communities worldwide. We combined …

Background Infectious diseases of wildlife are increasing worldwide with implications for
conservation and human public health. The microbiota (ie microbial community living on or …

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 …

Rapid evolution of advantageous traits following abrupt environmental change can help
populations recover from demographic decline. However, for many introduced diseases …

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 …

Since its introduction to North America, white‐nose syndrome has been associated with
declines greater than 90% in several bat species, prompting the development of treatments …
