Abstract
We review records of the temperature at which bats (Chiroptera) have been found torpid within hibernacula in the wild. Temperatures ranged from −10 to 21 °C, with a mode of 6 °C for Vespertilionidae (n = 29 species) and 11 °C for Rhinolophidae (n = 5 species). Both the mean minimum temperature and the mean median temperature at which species were found were significantly higher for rhinolophids (6.26 and 10.05 °C, respectively) than for vespertilionids (−0.17 and 5.68 °C, respectively).
