Will Temperature Effects or Phenotypic Plasticity Determine the Thermal Response of a Heterothermic Tropical Bat to Climate Change? ¤ Clare Stawski* , Fritz Geiser Centre for Behavioural and Physiological Ecology, Zoology, University of New England, Armidale, New South Wales, Australia Abstract The proportion of organisms exposed to warm conditions is predicted to increase during global warming. To better understand how bats might respond to climate change, we aimed to obtain the first data on how use of torpor, a crucial su
