Winter activity of hibernating mammals is likely to be influenced by climate change. Our study focuses on Nyctalus noctula, a non-cavernous hibernator using artificial roosts in a recently colonized winter region. Using continuous acoustic monitoring and temperature measurements inside and outside the roosts, we found that bats exhibit a circadian cycle (active at night, resting during the day) even during hibernation season.
