We studied variations in diet and abundance of the bat Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera:
Phyllostomidae) in a montane Atlantic Forest, in order to investigate if patterns in this habitat …

According to the concept of the “minimal boundary curve for endothermy”, mammals and
birds with a basal metabolic rate (BMR) that falls below the curve are obligate heterotherms …

In summer, long-eared bats (Nyctophilus spp.) roost under bark and in tree cavities, where
they appear to benefit from diurnal heating of roosts. In contrast, hibernation is thought to …

The night sky remains a largely unexplored frontier for biologists studying the behavior and
physiology of free-ranging, nocturnal organisms. Conventional imaging tools and …

Nyctalus noctula is one of the most common bats in the western Palearctic, whereas N.
leisleri is relatively rare (except in Ireland, where N. noctula does not occur) and more …

Daily patterns of body temperature (T b) and energy expenditure in heterothermic
endotherms are affected by changes in ambient temperature (T a) and selection of suitable …

Understanding year‐round roost‐site selection is essential for managing forest bat
populations. From January to March, 2004 to 2006, we used radiotelemetry to investigate …

Migration and hibernation in mammals may be preceded by a period of leptin resistance,
which may in part account for the increasing adiposity and body mass that occurs during …

We examined attributes of 45 roost sites used by 17 adult male evening bats (Nycticeius
humeralis) in a diverse forested landscape within the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas. Bats …

The eastern pipistrelle (Perimyotis subflavus) is relatively common and widespread
throughout the eastern United States. In recent decades, the distribution of P. subflavus has …
