Microclimate and bugs (Cimicidae): a possible cause of roost switching by vespertilionid bats

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The objectives of the presented study are to extend the knowledge about influence of the microclimate and interaction of bats with roost ectoparasites, bugs of group Cimex pipistrelli. Previous results have shown frequent movements between different shelters in pipistrelles. The changes in occupation of three bat boxes used by Pipistrellus pygmaeus and the dynamics in numbers of the bugs ibidem were studied. Models indicated that internal relative humidity described better the fluctuation in bat numbersduring pregnancy and lactation than did changes in the internal temperature. Three variables (internal humidity, external temperature, and number of bats) described almost 90% of the variability in internal roost temperature, while the number of bats described only 29% of the variability. A negative correlation was found between the internal temperature and the number of bats roosting in a bat box during pregnancy and lactation.
