Microclimate of different types of roosts in temperate bats: a review
Oppelová, Tereza ; Lučan, Radek (advisor) ; Jahelková, Helena (referee)
Chiropteran (Chiroptera) are still not so much explored order. It may be because of their night activity, hidden way of life and in large measure misunderstanding and mistrustfulness of people. Despite of progress during of last decade many of species are still insufficiently explored. Temperate bats are exhibited to many adverse conditions. Low temperature, temperature instability and seasonal food shortages forces bats to reduce their energetically costs to minimum. The need to adapt to these conditions leads to make new adaptations like torpor, social thermo genesis and hibernation. The important role is also choice of suitable roost with protection not only of bad weather and predators, but also with suitable microclimate, which helps to bats with energetically management.
