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).”
Social thermoregulation exerts more influence than microclimate on forest roost preferences by a cavity-dwelling bat (2007, background): “Many insectivorous bats use torpor to save energy during inclement weather and/or periods with reduced prey availability even during summer (Audet and Fenton 1988; Hamilton and Barclay 1994; Chruszcz and Barclay 2002; Lausen and Barclay 2003; Turbill et al. 2003a, b; Willis et al. 2006a).”
Use of artificial tree hollows by Australian birds and bats (2009, background): “Selecting roosts to enable passive rewarming from daily torpor may be quite widespread among Australian tree-roosting bats (Turbill et al. 2003a, 2003b; Turbill 2006) and this will influence their ability to use artificial hollows.”
The importance of temporal heterothermy in bats (2014, background): “…bats, a time when Ta is mild and insects are abundant, suggests that torpor has functions beyond energy conservation and that negative effects of torpor for these species are minimal (Bronner, Maloney & Buffenstein, 1999; Turbill et al., 2003; Vivier & van der Merwe, 2007; Stawski & Geiser, 2010b).”
The circadian rhythm of body temperature. (2010, unknown): “Although some animals have a natural disposition to exhibit daily torpor even when fed regularly (128, 223, 318, 339-349), various true homeotherms exhibit circadian-modulated starvationinduced hypothermia.”
Metabolic rate and body temperature reduction during hibernation and daily torpor. (2004, background): “In addition to possessing the ability to thermoregulate during torpor, heterothermic endotherms can rewarm themselves from the low T b during torpor by using endogenous heat production, although recent evidence from the field shows that passive rewarming also plays an important role (18, 53, 56, 97,”
