Physiological significance of the microclimate in night refuges of the numbat Myrmecobius Fasciatus

Numbats (Myrmecobius fasciatus) seek overnight refuge in hollow logs, tree hollows and burrows, which provide protection from predators. Occupied night refuges were on average 5ºC warmer than ambient temperature, which would result in considerable energy savings (35 kJ over 12 h). Use of a nest with...
