Variation of parasitism patterns in bats during hibernation: the effect of host species, resources, health status, and hibernation period.

myotis was significantly higher in December than in April ( p = 0.006, Table 1 ), adults were heavier than juveniles were ( p < 0.0001, Table 1 ), and a nearly significant interaction was found between period and age ( p = 0.091, Table 1 ): during hibernation, BCI decreased more in adult bats than in juveniles; no significant interactions were found (Table 1 ).
