摘要: We aim to summarise what is known about torpor use and patterns in Australian New Zealand (ANZ) bats from temperate, tropical/subtropical arid/semiarid regions identify whether how they differ. ANZ comprise ~90 species 10 families. Members of at least nine these are torpor, but detailed knowledge currently restricted the pteropodids, molossids, mystacinids, vespertilionids. In temperate areas, several can hibernate (use a sequence multiday bouts) trees or caves mostly during winter continue short bouts for rest year, including while reproducing. Subtropical vespertilionids also brief summer, which permit reduction foraging, probably part avoid predators. Like temperate-zone show little no seasonal change thermal energetics observed changes wild appear largely due temperature effects. contrast, subtropical blossom-bats (pteropodids) exhibit more pronounced daily summer than related nectar availability, this involves physiology. Even tropical express lasting ~5 h winter; data not available. arid zone, molossids throughout desert heat waves. Given same conditions, longer winter, minimise water loss. Thus, used by members all most families over entire region, its regional expression often as expected, it plays key role energy balance other crucial biological functions that enhance long-term survival individuals.
