Roosting Energetics

Roosting Energetics is a theoretical framework within behavioral ecology that quantifies the energy expenditure and conservation strategies of animals during rest phases, specifically distinguishing itself by integrating microclimatic conditions, thermoregulatory mechanisms, and postural adjustments in the context of roost site selection and utilization.
