Brazilian sleeping beauty: First evidence of hibernation by a bat in South America

Authors/Creators

Description

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Torpor and hibernation are energy-­saving heterothermic strategies widespread among mammals, and bats have reports of hibernation in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Africa. However, to date, there was no evidence of hibernation by bats in South America. We tagged four individuals of Eptesicus brasiliensis and one remained torpid for 13 consecutive days in a tree cavity roost in southern Brazil, showing evidence that bats can hibernate in South America.
