Hibernaculum is my topic.

Outline

[edit]

Introduction: • Introduce what hibernacula are and why they are used

• Explain that they differ between animals in appearance but have the same general purpose

• Intro information will come from the articles listed in the bibliography, but we will generalize it here rather than reporting specific data

Insects: • We will explain that insects are exothermic and freezing can mean death

• Insects may go through diapause; a type of hibernation, or overwintering which would both occur in hibernacula[1]

• Hibernacula are used to protect themselves from the weather [2]

• Logs, caves, under rocks or could use repurposed objects such as hornet nest [3]

Reptiles: • General introduction of hibernacula in reptiles (needed for hibernation)

• Reptiles are exothermic

• We will add subsections for Lizards[4], Snapping Turtles[5], and Pine Snakes[6], explaining how hibernacula differ

Amphibians: Amphibians: • Hibernacula uses for amphibians, including overwintering[7]

• Interesting case of newts using artificial hibernacula for habitat enhancement[8] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samanaqeeb (talk • contribs) 06:51, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Mammals: • Explain particular challenges mammals, as endotherms, face in hibernating (info will be drawn from sources listed below; presented in a more general context)

• Briefly describe some of the types of mammals that use hibernacula and the general characteristics of their hibernacula to give an appreciation for the great variety -- marsupial mountain pygmy-possums[9] ground squirrels[10], and mouse lemurs[11]

• Elaborate on bears -- how selection can vary between sites and species[12][13][14]

• Elaborate on bats -- behaviors connected to hibernacula[15]and factors that influence how long they stay in hibernacula[16] CAS307 (talk) 04:38, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
