• The importance of temporal heterothermy in bats (2014, background): “Females of hibernating species either store sperm until spring when fertilization occurs, or fertilization occurs before hibernation and implantation of embryos is delayed until females emerge in spring (Oxberry, 1979; Geiser & Brigham, 2012).”
• Daily torpor and hibernation in birds and mammals (2014, unknown): “…facilitates migration in certain birds; it is an integral part of reproductive strategies that involve sperm storage in certain bats and other mammals; it can primarily serve as a water-conservation mechanism; and it was found to lower the risk of extinction (review in Geiser & Brigham, 2012).”
