The paper quantifies increased transmission in bat communities after white-nose syndrome caused population declines, showing behavioral and ecological changes enhance contact and spread.

The paper investigates how environmental conditions influence disease-induced population declines and recovery in bats, finding that warmer sites had greater initial declines but faster recovery and higher resistance.

The paper examines sex differences in bat activity during mating season and links these patterns to sex-biased infections by the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans.

The paper examines how factors affecting Indiana bat population dynamics shift with the arrival of white-nose syndrome, finding that colder and wetter hibernacula increase extirpation risk.
