“…2), no caves or mines in eastern North America south of Pennsylvania and Iowa should have cave temperatures in the optimal range for most cavehibernating species (3.0-10.0°C). However, individual caves and mines with winter temperatures within the optimal temperature range are found throughout this region, from northern Florida to Arkansas and Oklahoma northward (e.g., Saugey et al 1990;Clawson 2002;Briggler and Prather 2003;Gore et al 2012). Most of the caves in the region where MAST is 10.1-18.3°C are unsuitable as bat hibernacula (Tuttle and Stevenson 1978).…”

“…Because the number of Indiana bat hibernacula is limited relative to other species (Raesly and Gates 1986), the physical and microclimatic characteristics of the known hibernacula are well documented (Hall 1962;Myers 1964;Henshaw 1965;Henshaw and Folk 1966;Barbour and Davis 1969;LaVal et al 1976;LaVal and LaVal 1980;Clawson 1984;Harvey and McDaniel 1986;Brack et al 1984;Raesly and Gates 1986;Saugey et al 1990;USDI Fish and Wildl.

“…A retrospective analysis of temperature and population trend for some of these caves revealed population increases in four of six caves where overwinter temperatures ranged from 3° to 7.2°C and population declines in all four caves/mines where overwinter temperatures exceeded 8.1°C or were less than 0°C (Tuttle and Kennedy 1999). Hibernacula temperatures in Arkansas and Oklahoma and in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia typically are warmer (7° to 10°C) than caves in other portions of the range (Harvey and McDaniel 1986;Raesly and Gates 1987;Saugey et al 1990). Warmer temperatures may increase metabolic rates in Indiana bats and cause premature fat depletion during the hibernation period (Richter et al 1993).…”

“…Eastern red bats roost in the foliage of numerous tree species above ground and under leaf litter during winter [3,4,14,15] and this roosting behavior is thermally dependent. During winter, lasiurine bats may select southern aspects for roosting that provide solar exposure; they may retreat to roosts below leaf litter during colder periods of winter [4,12].…”
