... provides an opportunity to study recovery of disease survivors, understand implications of recovery for individual energetics, and assess the role of survivors in pathogen transmission. We documented temporal patterns of recovery from WNS in little brown bats ( Myotis lucifugus ) following hibernation...

.... We used open-flow respirometry to quantify torpor expression in nine little brown bats ( Myotis lucifugus , LeConte 1831) at two ambient temperatures (7°C and 17°C) following either sham feeding or consumption of a high-protein meal (50% or 100% of the mass required to reach satiation for each...

... would choose warmer temperatures to minimize the costs of hibernation. Results from our field experiment indicate that little brown myotis ( Myotis lucifugus )hibernating in warm microclimates were significantly heavier than individuals hibernating in cooler microclimates. To determine if energy...

... of aerially hawking bats. We recorded auditory receptor cell action potentials elicited in underwing moths ( Catocala spp.) by echolocation calls emitted during gleaning attacks by Myotis septentrionalis (the northern long-eared bat) and during flights by the aerial hawker Myotis lucifugus (the little brown...
