Fig 1.
Footpad thickness of the fish-eating Myotis (M. vivesi) after a PHA immune challenge.
We present repeated values for each individual (n = 10). Black and pink bars are mean ± standard error for bats on the PBS and PHA treatments, respectively. Vertical line indicates time of injection. * p ≤ 0.05, *** p = 0.0001.
Fig 2.
Body temperature in the fish-eating Myotis (M. vivesi) after a LPS immune challenge.
A) Skin temperature (Tskin) before and after PBS or LPS injection. B) Difference between skin and ambient temperatures (Tchamber) after PBS ot LPS injection. We present repeated values for each individual (n = 7). Gray and blue bars are mean ± standard error for bats on the PBS and LPS treatments, respectively. The vertical line indicates time of injection. ** p ≤ 0.01.

Body mass loss in the fish-eating Myotis (M. vivesi) due to the PHA and LPS challenges.
(A) Bats subjected to a PHA challenge. Black and pink bars are mean ±error for bats on the PBS and PHA treatments, respectively (B) Bats subjected to a LPS challenge. Gray and blue bars are mean ± standard error for bats on the PBS and LPS treatments, respectively. We present repeated values for each individual for the PHA (n = 10) and LPS (n = 7) challenges. Vertical lines indicate time of injection. * p ≤ 0.05.
Fig 4.
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) of the fish-eating Myotis (M. vivesi) as a function of PHA and LPS challenges.
(A) PHA challenge. Black and pink bars are mean ± error for bats on the PBS and PHA treatments, respectively. (B) LPS challenge. Gray and blue bars are mean ± standard error for bats on the PBS and LPS treatments, respectively. We present repeated values for each individual for the PHA (n = 10) and LPS (n = 5) challenges.Vertical lines indicates time of injection. * p ≤ 0.05, ** p = 0.01.
