| Fat energy use (I vs C) | 5 | 16 | 0.0088* | 0.01 |
| Change in TBW % BM (I vs C) | 4 | 16 | 0.0243 | 0.0125 |
| Fat energy use (C) | 3 | 3 | 0.0687 | 0.0167 |

Results of t-tests used to compare doubly labeled water measurements for little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) either experimentally infected with Pseudogymnoascus destructans (I) or non-infected controls (C). Total body water is represented as percentage of body mass (TBW % BM). Significant differences between treatment groups (*) were determined by p-values < Holm-Bonferroni p-values corrected by the index of comparison (k).
