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).”
Thermoregulation and roost selection by reproductive female big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) roosting in rock crevices (2003, background): “Based on this and other roosting studies (Vaughan & O’Shea, 1976; Sedgeley, 2001; Chruszcz & Barclay, 2002), we predicted that rock crevice roosts vary in microclimate and that individuals select roosts appropriate for their thermoregulatory strategy.”
Roost selection by barbastelle bats (Barbastella barbastellus, Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in beech woodlands of central Italy: consequences for conservation (2004, background): “Most tree-dwelling bat species in different genera studied to date select roost types other than defoliating bark (Wilkinson, 1985; Brigham, 1989; Swift, 1998; Sedgeley and O’Donnell, 1999b; Boonman, 2000; Law and Anderson, 2000; Sedgeley, 2001; Lumsden et al., 2002).”
Characteristics of tree hollows used by Australian birds and bats (2009, background): “Tree roosts of the long-tailed bat (Chalinolobus tuberculatus) in southern New Zealand were well buffered against ambient temperature (Sedgeley 2001) and roosts were in trees that were taller andwith less canopy cover and surrounding vegetation than the available hollow-bearing trees (Sedgeley and O”
Influence of temperature in roost selection by Pipistrellus pygmaeus (Chiroptera): relevance for the design of bat boxes (2004, background): “These provide sites for mating, hibernation and rearing young (Kunz, 1982) and offer protection from environmental extremes and predators (Entwistle et al., 1997; Sedgeley, 2001 ).”
Emergence time in forest bats: the influence of canopy closure (2007, background): “…of studies on tree-roosting bats (e.g. Lacki and Schwierjohann, 2001; Law and Anderson, 2000; Lumsden et al., 2002; Sedgeley and O’Donnell, 1999a,b; Sedgeley, 2001; Russo et al., 2004, 2005; Willis and Brigham, 2004), emergence behaviour in these species remains little investigated (but see e.g.…”
ROOST CAVITY SELECTION BY NYCTALUS NOCTULA AND N. LEISLERI (VESPERTILIONIDAE, CHIROPTERA) IN BIAŁOWIEŻA PRIMEVAL FOREST, EASTERN POLAND (2005, background): “Temperature benefits arising from greater exposure of trunks to sunlight at cavity height have been identified as an important reason for bats choosing more elevated roosts (Sedgeley 2001).”
Factors influencing survival and long-term population viability of New Zealand long-tailed bats (Chalinolobus tuberculatus): Implications for conservation (2005, background): “…young of the year roost in communal groups at low altitudes in more fertile productive forests, so will experience warmer conditions and accrue significant energetic benefits from clustering (Roverud and Chappell, 1991; O Donnell and Sedgeley, 1999; Sedgeley and O Donnell, 1999a,b; Sedgeley, 2001).”
Social thermoregulation exerts more influence than microclimate on forest roost preferences by a cavity-dwelling bat (2007, background): “To date, however, few have tested this hypothesis by measuring Troost, and fewer still have tested whether differences in roost microclimate are large enough to affect a currency relevant to fitness, such as energy use (but see Kalcounis and Brigham 1998; Sedgeley 2001; Willis and Brigham 2005).”
BENEFITS OF LIVING IN A BUILDING: BIG BROWN BATS (EPTESICUS FUSCUS) IN ROCKS VERSUS BUILDINGS (2006, background): “Natural roosts in rock crevices, caves, and tree hollows typically are insulated against extreme temperatures, resulting in warmer than ambient temperatures at night, but cooler than ambient conditions during the day (Betts 1997; Brown and Bernard 1994; Lausen and Barclay 2002; Sedgeley 2001).”
Thermoregulatory ecology of a solitary bat, Myotis evotis, roosting in rock crevices (2002, background): “Microclimate is important in roost site selection by bats (Vaughan & O’Shea 1976; Kunz 1982; Audet & Fenton 1988; Hamilton & Barclay 1994; Vonhof & Barclay 1997; Sedgeley 2001 ).”
