Description

Recent advances in research methods and analytical techniques have enabled us to study a variety of ecological and behavioral aspects of bats in the field. Various studies have showed that the hibernation ecology of bats varies among species, among populations, and even among individuals in a population. Furthermore, the optimal hibernation theory, which takes into account the trade-offs between costs and benefits of hibernation, has been explained how torpor expression and hibernation site use are determined. Here, we briefly review the new aspects of hibernation ecology of bats, and also discuss about the influences of climate change on the phenology of hibernation and reproduction.
