Contaminant exposure as an additional stressor to bats affected by white-nose syndrome: current evidence and knowledge gaps
AB Cable, EV Willcox, C Leppanen - Ecotoxicology, 2022 - Springer
Bats are exposed to numerous threats including pollution and emerging diseases. In North
America, the fungal disease white-nose syndrome (WNS) has caused declines in many bat …

Winter torpor expression varies in four bat species with differential susceptibility to white-nose syndrome
Studies examining the overwintering behaviors of North American hibernating bats are
limited to a handful of species. We deployed temperature-sensitive transmitters on four …

Feasting, not fasting: winter diets of cave hibernating bats in the United States
Temperate bat species use extended torpor to conserve energy when ambient temperatures
are low and food resources are scarce. Previous research suggests that migratory bat …

Integrating mortality risk and the adaptiveness of hibernation
Low mortality rate is often associated with slow life history, and so far, has mainly been
assessed through examinations of specific adaptations and lifestyles that limit mortality risk …
