Cranial size has increased over 133 years in a common bat, Pipistrellus kuhlii: a response to changing climate or urbanization? (2014, background): “…food patches, such as near street lamps (e.g. Barak & Yom-Tov, 1989; Russo et al., 2009; Serangeli et al., 2012), and by selecting warmer maternity roosts in buildings (Lausen & Barclay, 2006), leading to an improvement in the growth of young and eventually a larger body size (Ransome, 1998).”
Roost tree selection by northern myotis (Myotis septentrionalis) maternity colonies following prescribed fire in a Central Appalachian Mountains hardwood forest (2009, background): “Increased solar radiation may be a preferred characteristic of bat roost sites, as warmer temperatures facilitate more rapid development of neonates (Sedgeley, 2001; Boyles and Aubrey, 2006; Lausen and Barclay, 2006).”
Bats and Buildings: The Conservation of Synanthropic Bats (2015, background): “Pregnant big brown bats rarely entered torpor when roosting at favorable ambient conditions in buildings (Lausen and Barclay 2006) .”
