Note that the references provided represent to our knowledge the original report(s) describing events in wild populations, and do not include subsequent follow-up publications focused on the same events. Events are summarized from a review of 897 articles; see S1 File for a full description of the literature review methods.

*Denotes mortality of colonial species reported as a percentage of affected colonies with partial necrosis, rather than absolute mortality.

ND, no data.

^aWhere not stated explicitly, we estimated spatial extent of study regions from maps or text descriptions.

^bNote that most published studies do not include the spatial boundaries of mortality (i.e., the geographic locations past which no mortality was observed). When this information was absent, we report here the spatial extent of the study region.
