The northeastern and mid-Atlantic coasts of the United States are important summer
maternity habitat and seasonal migratory corridors for many species of bats. Additionally, the …

The fungal infection causing white‐nose disease in hibernating bats in North America has
resulted in dramatic population declines of affected species, since the introduction of the …

Snake fungal disease (SFD; ophidiomycosis), caused by the pathogen Ophidiomyces
ophiodiicola (Oo), has been documented in wild snakes in North America and Eurasia, and …

Microbial communities contain a broad phylogenetic diversity of organisms; however, the
majority of methods center on describing bacteria and archaea. Fungi are important …

Millions of hibernating bats across North America have died from white-nose syndrome
(WNS), an emerging disease caused by a psychrophilic (cold-loving) fungus …

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

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 …

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 …

In this contribution to Dr. Brock Fenton's Festschrift, we briefly reflect on Dr. Fenton's seminal
works examining bat swarming behaviour in Ontario and use these reflections as a launch …

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 …
