(4) The eastern pipistrelle stores epididymal spermatozoa throughout hibernation, a time when the testes are involuted but accessory gland activity is maintained.
(5) This suggests that in torpid pipistrelles the glottis may remain open during apnea, allowing a significant diffusive influx of O2 into the lungs.
(6) The Eastern pipistrelle (Pipistrellus subflavus) is typical of exceptionally small bats capable of a 30-fold range in aerobic metabolism as they arouse from hypothermia and sustain foraging flight.
