AUTUMN MIGRATION AND SELECTION OF ROCK CREVICES AS HIBERNACULA BY BIG BROWN BATS IN COLORADO (2006, background): “Chruszcz and Barclay (2002) found similar relationships for comparisons of internal versus external temperatures of rock crevices used as maternity roosts by western long-eared bats (Myotis evotis).”
Thermoregulation and roost selection by reproductive female big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) roosting in rock crevices (2003, background): “Similarly, in cool spring weather, pregnant M. evotis roosting in our study area use thin-walled (boulder-slab) roosts that are more responsive to T amb ,w hile thickerwalled cracks in boulders, with more stable thermal regimes, are preferred by lactating M. evotis in the hotter summer weather ( Chr”
The importance of temporal heterothermy in bats (2014, background): “This is favoured also by the fluctuating Ta of tree roosts, which enable passive or partially passive rewarming reducing the energetic cost of arousals (Chruszcz & Barclay, 2002; Turbill, Körtner & Geiser, 2008).”
Influence of temperature in roost selection by Pipistrellus pygmaeus (Chiroptera): relevance for the design of bat boxes (2004, background): “Such behavioural thermoregulation may result in considerable energy savings and has been described for other bat species such as E. fuscus (Williams and Brittingham, 1997), M. condylurus (Bronner et al., 1999), and Myotis evotis ( Chruszcz and Barclay, 2002 ).”
BENEFITS OF LIVING IN A BUILDING: BIG BROWN BATS (EPTESICUS FUSCUS) IN ROCKS VERSUS BUILDINGS (2006, background): “…conditions arise in which reproductive female bats in both natural and building roosts opt to enter torpor, thereby saving energy that would otherwise be spent maintaining a high Tb (Audet and Fenton 1988; Chruszcz and Barclay 2002; Hamilton and Barclay 1994; Lausen and Barclay 2003).”
Spatial and temporal patterns of roost use by tree-dwelling barbastelle bats Barbastella barbastellus (2005, background): “Roost location, structure and aspect determine microclimatic conditions which may influence the energetic costs of key stages of life cycle such as hibernation (Humphries et al. 2002), pregnancy and lactation (Sedgeley 2001, Kerth et al. 2001b, Chruszcz and Barclay 2002).”
Summer torpor in a free-ranging bat from subtropical Australia (2003, background): “Some species also enter short torpor bouts usually lasting less than a day in summer, particularly during cool weather (Audet and Fenton, 1988; Hickey and Fenton, 1996; Turbill et al., 2001; Chruszcz and Barclay, 2002).”
PHYSIOLOGICAL AND ECOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF ROOST SELECTION BY REPRODUCTIVE FEMALE HOARY BATS (LASIURUS CINEREUS) (2005, background): “Microchiropteran bats are heterothermic endotherms and can exploit torpor during summer, presumably to balance energy budgets during periods of inclement weather and reduced prey availability (Chruszcz and Barclay 2002; Lausen and Barclay 2003; Turbill et al. 2003).”
