- Description
- The microsites that animals occupy during the rest phase of their circa-dian activity cycle influence their physiology and behaviour, but relative-ly few studies have examined correlations between interspecific varia-tion in thermal physiology and roost microclimate. Among bats, there is some evidence that species exposed to high roost temperatures (Troost) possess greater heat tolerance and evaporative cooling capacity, but the small number of species for which both thermal physiology and roost microclimate data exist mean that the generality of this pattern remains unclear.
