Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It seems that although rabies viruses have the potential for rapid evolution, this property alone is not enough to overcome genetic barriers, which inhibit the onward transmission of rabies virus into a new species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sociality, density-dependence and microclimates determine the persistence of populations suffering from a novel fungal disease, white-nose syndrome.

TL;DR: In hibernating bats infected with Geomyces destructans, it is shown that impacts of disease on solitary species were lower in smaller populations, whereas in socially gregarious species declines were equally severe in populations spanning four orders of magnitude, and decreases in social group size that reduced the likelihood of extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the major threats and challenges to global bat conservation
TL;DR: It is shown that global and regional networks that connect researchers, conservation practitioners, and local stakeholders to share knowledge, build capacity, and prioritize and coordinate research and conservation efforts, are vital to ensuring sustainable bat populations worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disease alters macroecological patterns of North American bats

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
Influence of climate and reproductive timing on demography of little brown myotis Myotis lucifugus.
TL;DR: The positive influence of early parturition on 1st-year survival and breeding propensity demonstrates significant fitness benefits to reproductive timing in this temperate insectivorous bat.
