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

White-nose syndrome (WNS) has notably affected the abundance of Myotis lucifugus (little
brown myotis) in North America. Thus far, substantial mortality has been restricted to the …

Climate change and disease are threats to biodiversity that may compound and interact with
one another in ways that are difficult to predict. White-nose syndrome (WNS), caused by a …

Insectivorous bats at northern latitudes need to cope with long periods of no food for large
parts of the year. Hence, bats which are resident at northern latitudes throughout the year …

Winter presents environmental and energetic challenges for temperate insectivorous bats as
colder temperatures increase metabolic rates while simultaneously reducing resource …

Torpor and arousal cycles, both daily and seasonal (eg hibernation), are crucial for small
mammals, including bats, to maintain the energy and water balance. The alternation …

Abstract The Tricolored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus) has suffered significant population
declines in much of its geographic range due to white-nose syndrome (WNS). Our aim was …

The tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), once common in the eastern United States, has
experienced significant mortality due to white‐nose syndrome (WNS), a fungal disease that …

Plant species diversity and spatial distribution patterns are critical for understanding
ecosystem dynamics in arid and fragile environments. This study investigates the diversity …

Hibernation patterns of European bat species, especially those that hibernate above ground,
remain under-explored. Our study focused on Nyctalus noctula, a common species among …
