Fig. 3. Ambient temperature (Ta) at the time of active arousal
by bats receiving passive rewarming from exposure to a daily fluctuation in
Ta when heating commenced at 06:00 h, 09:00 h or 12:00 h
(individuals: filled circles and connecting lines; averages: open circles).
Bats aroused at lower Ta and therefore after less passive
rewarming when heating had commenced later in the day (repeated ANOVA:
F2,22=14.4, P<0.001; Tukey's test: all
P<0.05).
