Summary

This dataset includes data used to summarize trends and identify best-fit models to explain patterns in presence-absence and abundance of Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) in environmental substrates and on bats within six bat hibernacula at different stages of white-nose syndrome (WNS). Data relating to environmental substrates include: dates and relative spatial locations of samples collected within study hibernacula, presence and quantity of Pd in samples based on qPCR analysis, and daily temperature parameters at each sample location on the days samples were collected. Data relating to bats include: dates and relative spatial locations of hibernating bats that were sampled, species, sex, weight(g), forearm length(mm), body mass [...]

Purpose

These data were used to identify determinants of the distribution of Pd within hibernacula over time from first introduction of Pd to an established state. This information is useful for determining optimal surveillance strategies for Pd within a hibernaculum (e.g. priority sample types and sample sizes) and for guiding management actions involving manipulation of the environment or environmental reservoirs of Pd within a hibernaculum.
