Abstract
The thermal regulatory responses of bats to ambient temperature have been reviewed. The various types of bats (hibernators, migrators, tropical) have some degree of thermal regulation, although the complexity of its nature and mechanism is still unknown.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
