Journal ArticleDOI
Disease alters macroecological patterns of North American bats
Winifred F. Frick,Sébastien J. Puechmaille,Joseph R. Hoyt,Barry A. Nickel,Kate E. Langwig,Jeffrey T. Foster,Jeffrey T. Foster,Kate E. Barlow,Tomáš Bartonička,Daniel J. Feller,Anne Jifke Haarsma,Carl Herzog,Ivan Horáček,Jeroen van der Kooij,Bart Mulkens,Boyan Petrov,Rick A. Reynolds,Luísa Rodrigues,Craig W. Stihler,Gregory G. Turner,A. Marm Kilpatrick +20 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host and pathogen ecology drive the seasonal dynamics of a fungal disease, white-nose syndrome
Kate E. Langwig,Winifred F. Frick,Rick A. Reynolds,Katy L. Parise,Kevin P. Drees,Joseph R. Hoyt,Tina L. Cheng,Thomas H. Kunz,Jeffrey T. Foster,Jeffrey T. Foster,A. Marm Kilpatrick +10 more
TL;DR: This study is the first, to the best of the knowledge, to describe the seasonality of transmission in this emerging wildlife disease, and suggests the dominant driver of seasonal transmission dynamics was a change in host physiology, specifically hibernation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Context‐dependent conservation responses to emerging wildlife diseases
Kate E. Langwig,Jamie Voyles,Mark Q. Wilber,Winifred F. Frick,Kris A. Murray,Kris A. Murray,Benjamin M. Bolker,James P. Collins,Tina L. Cheng,Matthew C. Fisher,Joseph R. Hoyt,Daniel L. Lindner,Hamish McCallum,Robert Puschendorf,Erica Bree Rosenblum,Mary Toothman,Craig K. R. Willis,Cheryl J. Briggs,A. Marm Kilpatrick +18 more
TL;DR: Stage-specific goals and management actions that minimize disease impacts on wildlife, and the research required to implement them are described, including limiting pathogen spread and preventing establishment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria isolated from bats inhibit the growth of Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the causative agent of white-nose syndrome.
Joseph R. Hoyt,Tina L. Cheng,Kate E. Langwig,Mallory M. Hee,Winifred F. Frick,A. Marm Kilpatrick +5 more
TL;DR: Results show that bacteria found naturally occurring on bats can inhibit the growth of P. destructans in vitro and should be studied further as a possible probiotic to protect bats from white-nose syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogen dynamics during invasion and establishment of white-nose syndrome explain mechanisms of host persistence
Winifred F. Frick,Winifred F. Frick,Tina L. Cheng,Kate E. Langwig,Kate E. Langwig,Joseph R. Hoyt,Amanda F. Janicki,Katy L. Parise,Katy L. Parise,Jeffrey T. Foster,Jeffrey T. Foster,A. Marm Kilpatrick +11 more
TL;DR: There was substantial variation in fungal load among sites with persisting colonies, suggesting that both tolerance and resistance developed at different sites in the same species, and one species disappeared from hibernacula within 3 yr of pathogen invasion.
