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 shows that host competence, not susceptibility heterogeneity, drives epidemic outcomes in experimental bird flocks.

This study shows prior pathogen exposure increases gene expression heterogeneity in both host and pathogen during reinfection in house finches.

The study shows that successful initial infections in house finches protect against severe future infections, with males being more susceptible than females.

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 shows prior pathogen exposure increases susceptibility heterogeneity in songbirds and affects epidemic dynamics.

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.
