White-nose syndrome (WNS) is an emerging fungal disease suspected to have infected
Indiana caves in the winter of 2010–2011. This disease places energetic strains on cave …

Ecological understanding of host–pathogen dynamics is the basis for managing wildlife
diseases. Since 2008, federal, state, and provincial agencies and tribal and private …

This article summarizes current knowledge about the migratory behavior of temperate and
tropical bats. A close association between migration and hibernation exists in temperate, but …

Hibernating bats have undergone severe recent declines across the eastern United States,
but the cause of these regional‐scale declines has not been systematically evaluated. We …

Emerging infectious diseases have resulted in severe population declines across diverse
taxa. In some instances, despite attributes associated with high extinction risk, disease …

The little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) is one of the most widespread bat species in North
America and is experiencing severe population declines because of an emerging fungal …

Landscape complexity influences patterns of animal dispersal, which in turn may affect both
gene flow and the spread of pathogens. White‐nose syndrome (WNS) is an introduced …

Annual migration is common across animal taxa and can dramatically shape the spatial and
temporal patterns of infectious disease. Although migration can decrease infection …

The fungal disease white‐nose syndrome (WNS) has caused mass mortality in some
species of North American bats during hibernation. We use population viability models to …

Characterizing movement dynamics and spatial aspects of gene flow within a species
permits inference on population structuring. As patterns of structuring are products of …
