Long-term individualized monitoring of sympatric bat species reveals distinct species- and demographic differences in hibernation phenology

Abstract Background Hibernation allows species to conserve energy and thereby bridge unfavorable environmental conditions. At the same time, hibernation imposes substantial ecological and physiological costs. Understanding how hibernation timing differs within and between species can provide insight...
