Figure 1

Sampling locations of little brown bats. (A) Sequenced survivors (n = 9, marked by stars) and non-survivors (n = 29, crosses), jittered around similar collection sites (black dots); the size of the symbol indicates relative differences in the number of samples per site (see Table S1 for details). Survivors undertake short-distance migrations away from hibernacula in spring, which is reflected in their scattered collection locations. Non-survivors are closely associated with underground hibernation sites, with most (B) collected within hibernacula (~26 carcasses marked by circles on the floor of a mine), although some (C) leave these sites prematurely, like these dead bats on the outer screen of a house <1 km from a hibernaculum (note the snowy landscape).
