Pseudogymnoascus destructans infection in relation to chiropteran phylogeny and ecological similarity.

a = species using both types of shelters are also included in the previous categories.Phylogenetic signal of explanatory variables on a phylogeny of bats from Europe and North America and of P. destructans infection on both phylogeny and a neighbour-joining tree based on squared Euclidean distances of ecological and behavioural traits of hibernating bat species. Values in bold indicate significant clustering or over-dispersion of P. destructans infection on the tree. Note that all categories of explanatory variables were tested here, but n - 1 dummy variables were included in the PGLS model. N = number of species scored positive for the given variable, MPD = mean phylogenetic distance, NRI = net relatedness index, MNTD = mean nearest taxon phylogenetic distance, NTI = nearest taxon index.
