TL;DR: It is demonstrated that WNS-affected bats aroused to euthermic body temperatures more frequently than unaffected bats, likely contributing to subsequent mortality, and the number of arousal bouts since datalogger attachment significantly predicted date of death.

TL;DR: The effects of disease on the local abundances and distributions of species at continental scales are investigated by examining the impacts of white-nose syndrome, an infectious disease of hibernating bats, which has recently emerged in Europe.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the threat impact of an emerging infectious disease by uniting monitoring efforts across jurisdictional boundaries and demonstrated the importance of coordinated monitoring programs for data-driven conservation assessments and planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing a habitat model for the endangered Virginia northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus) in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined occurrence patterns and habitat data for the Virginia northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus) in the central Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia, USA with the intent to develop a habitat model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intraspecific comparison of population structure, genetic diversity, and dispersal among three subspecies of Townsend’s big-eared bats, Corynorhinus townsendii townsendii, C. t. pallescens , and the endangered C. t. virginianus
TL;DR: Using a comparative approach, estimates of the genetic diversity within populations of the endangered subspecies, C. t.
