Figure 7


Fig. 7. An approximate model of the change in the critical threshold Ta that triggers arousal (thermal cue for arousal; thick dashed line) over the rest phase (daytime) in male N. geoffroyi. Torpor is entered before or near dawn. Arousal and active rewarming of body temperature (solid line) from torpor is predicted to occur if and when Ta (thin dotted line) reaches the thermal cue for arousal. Bats re-enter torpor in response to cooling of Ta. Torpid bats arouse near dusk.
