Data for "Methods for assessing artificial thermal refuges: spatiotemporal analysis more informative than averages"

This dataset contains temperature measurements in four different bat box designs deployed in central Indiana, USA from May to September 2018. Hourly environmental data (temperature, solar radiation, and wind speed) are also included for days and hours sampled. Bat box temperature data were used as inputs in a free program, GNU Octave, to assess design performance with respect to suitability indices for endothermic metabolism and pup development. Scripts are included in the dataset.

本数据集收录了2018年5月至9月期间，在美国印第安纳州中部部署的四种不同蝙蝠巢设计中的温度测量数据。此外，还包括了采样日和小时的环境数据（温度、太阳辐射和风速）。蝙蝠巢温度数据被用作GNU Octave免费程序输入，用以评估设计性能，特别是针对恒温代谢和幼崽成长的适宜性指标。数据集中包含了相应的脚本。
