FIGURE 3: The A) proportion of wing tissue displaying signs of infection with Pseudogymnoascus destructans and B)amount of weight lost over hibernation in bats from each site. Tissue invasion at Extirpated (Warm + Wet) was higher than that at the similarly humid Persisting 2 (Cold + Wet), suggesting that the higher fungal growth rate at the extirpated site resulted in greater tissue invasion and ultimately higher weight loss. The low humidity conditions at Persisting 1 (Cold + Dry) may have driven the observed increase in tissue invasion despite a lower pathogen growth rate. Low humidity conditions can exacerbate evaporative water loss from infected tissue, which may have increased arousal frequency and weight loss.
