Host and pathogen ecology drive the seasonal dynamics of a fungal disease, white-nose syndrome
Seasonal patterns in pathogen transmission can influence the impact of disease on
populations and the speed of spatial spread. Increases in host contact rates or births drive …

Wing pathology of white-nose syndrome in bats suggests life-threatening disruption of physiology
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is causing unprecedented declines in several species of North
American bats. The characteristic lesions of WNS are caused by the fungus Geomyces …

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

The importance of temporal heterothermy in bats
Animals must balance their energy budgets even when confronted with periodic food
shortages and/or adverse environmental conditions. Especially, small endothermic animals …

Could localized warm areas inside cold caves reduce mortality of hibernating bats affected by white‐nose syndrome?
White‐nose syndrome (WNS) is a mysterious condition affecting populations of hibernating
bats in the northeastern US. Little is known about its physiological effects on bats and no …

Non-kin cooperation in bats
Many bats are extremely social. In some cases, individuals remain together for years or even
decades and engage in mutually beneficial behaviours among non-related individuals …

Phenology refers to the timing of events in the annual cycle of organisms. For temperate-
zone mammals, hibernation is one such event, but little is known about its phenology …
