	Richardson's Ground Squirrel
		The hibernaculum chamber is initially constructed as an excavation off the main burrow system, but that connection is plugged off with soil when the animal enters hibernation.
		The hibernaculum system is a closed system consisting of a hibernaculum chamber, a drain tunnel to carry away moisture, and an exit tunnel that reaches almost to the surface.
		The hibernaculum is a grass-filled chamber in which the ground squirrel curls into a ball with its nose tucked between the hind legs and enters a state of torpor.

		The bank identified as a potential adder hibernaculum, was more-or-less in the centre of the proposed line of the new road.
		The replacement bank was constructed on 18 May 1996 when it was judged that any reptiles would have dispersed from the original bank, and hopefully upon their return in late summer to hibernate, would find the new hibernaculum.
		Hibernaculum construction: A 20 m long east-west running ditch 1 m deep and 1 m broad was dug.

	Bumble bee Biology - Bumble Boosters: Doing Science as a community of learners
		The queue for queen emergence from a hibernaculum is the ground warming to a certain temperature.
		After emergence from the hibernaculum, queens will spend a period of time feeding to gain strength and complete the development of their ovaries.
		Just as a suitable hibernaculum allows a queen to survive winter, the development of a successful colony is dependent on the selection of an appropriate nest site.

	Brooklin Lions Wilderness Trail - The Hibernaculum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The first reaction when we tell people that we've built a hibernaculum is usually, "A hiber-what?!?" When we explain that it's a sort of underground shelter for over-wintering snakes, the next question is often, "How will the snakes know it's there?" At least one person pictured a neon motel sign in his mind.
		As she backed off we watched the snake glide out of sight into a pile of hibernaculum bricks.
		For more information on the hibernaculum, check the information for Post 5 in the trail guide.

	A.Word.A.Day -- hibernaculum
		The protective covering of an animal or plant bud that protects it during its dormant stage in the winter.
		Well, an unusual or difficult word is one that's not in common use.
		Who's to say that "hibernaculum" is a more difficult word than, say, "curriculum".

		So much so that the 'no vacancies' sign has gone up at the existing Hibernaculum, the bats winter home and the Forestry Commission is desperately trying to find funding for another bats boarding house.
		It is expected that the new hibernaculum will provide even more attractive accommodation for all the bat species.
		The location earmarked for a second hibernaculum is adjacent to the River Ouse a known corridor for hunting bats, in particular the Daubenton species.

	The whipsnade hibernaculum early days
		Among the many sites visited was the former Kodiak bear den at Whipsnade which has been modified to create a hibernaculum and which has been monitored as part of the Bedfordshire Bat Group’s survey programme over many years.
		This hibernaculum has held hibernating Natterer’s and brown long-eared bats, even though its construction is far from ideal for bats when compared to some of the better sites in Bedfordshire such as XXXXX or XXXXXX*
		This project provides the first purpose-built hibernaculum for bats at Whipsnade, however, we are not relying on this alone.

	Hibernation in Box Turtles
		The container in which you hibernate a turtle is called a hibernaculum.
		The hibernaculum should be kept at a temperature of 40-50°F in a draft-free room.
		Then, place the turtle in the hibernaculum and move it to the cool room you have selected.

	Coleophora hemerobiella Scopoli
		Before the leaves fall in autumn, the caterpillars construct a hibernaculum using a strip of the leaf epidermis and silk threads which they spin.
		In spring the hibernaculum is enlarged and becomes cone-shaped.
		In autumn, the caterpillar, still in its hibernaculum, reaches a branch or stem, attaches itself with a silken thread and hibernates.

	Snake Hibernaculum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The snake hibernaculums were constructed to provide a place for the Eastern Milk Snake, the Western Fox Snake and the Common Garter Snake over-winter.
		This designed called for a hole to be excavated down to two feet of saturated soils, and a width of approximately 36 inches, our pit was dug to a depth of ten feet.
		If we are successful in doing so, we plan on sharing our study with other conservation departments in hopes that they too will provide additional habitat for snakes when they are doing their streambank stabilization projects.

	Garter Snakes
		Garters hibernate in aggregations - hundreds of snakes gathering in the same hibernaculum, spending the winter together and accessible to each other for spring breeding.
		During the winter, temperatures in the hibernaculum never drops below 3-4 C (37-39 F) at which the garters may safely remain for sixteen weeks without serious loss of body weight or impact on general health.
		One of the ways they are able to sustain such dormancy is to stock up on body fat by feeding heavily during the late summer.

		In the fall, I remove the pool from their outside enclosure and fill it with a pile of wet leaves.
		The hibernaculum is constructed out of a large (3 x 2 x 2 foot) plastic storage container.
		It was placed with one side against the wall of the building, and the remaining 3 sides were insulated with plastic trash bags filled with leaves.

	Scouting Watch
		There, the young caterpillar spins a thin silk case over itself, a hibernaculum, and stays there until spring.
		At this time of year, the larva leaves the hibernaculum and crawls across the bark of the tree for a few days until it locates a place to tunnel under the bark.
		During each of these wandering times by the small caterpillar, late summer and early spring, it is susceptible to insecticidal control.

	Heritage Conservancy: Bats Tracking Project Takes Flight
		The tracking study, or telemetry, relies on the use of microtransmittors temporarily affixed to the bats that gives out a signal that can be received by an antenna array on a ground vehicle or airplane.
		The study began this month with the capture and banding of seven female bats from the hibernaculum.
		The deep and interconnecting shafts of the mine provide the ideal conditions for a bat hibernaculum, with high humidity, temperate climate and an exchange of air among the subterranean tunnels and entrances.

	Making a place for bats
		The Slippery Rock Watershed Coalition has just put the finishing touches on the first man-made bat hibernaculum east of the Mississippi River and is awaiting the arrival of nature's most misunderstood creatures and the only mammals capable of flight.
		The hibernaculum was designed to provide a cool, dark place for bats to sleep during the day and hibernate in the winter.
		Beran said the coalition's hibernaculum project took advantage of donated materials, but other watershed groups doing stream restoration and mine reclamation projects could easily and inexpensively adapt the model to their area's needs.

	Hibernation in Turtles
		The temperature inside the hibernaculum should stay at 40 to 50 F (5 to 10 C) and must not rise above 55 to 60 F (15 to 16 C).
		The purpose of the hibernaculum is to insulate the animal against exterior temperature fluctuations.
		The hibernaculum should be placed in a dark or dimly lit, draft free, secure room, free from disturbance.

	Horspath Parish Council Wildlife Conservation Area - The Bat Hibernaculum
		The building work to create the bat hibernaculum was outside the scope of the Parish Council’s insurance cover for volunteers, and it was necessary to secure financial support from three additional sources before this major habitat creation project could proceed.
		The engineering plans for the bat hibernaculum were drawn by Donald Gray, of Gray Design in Horspath, to meet the detailed requirements of English Nature.
		Bob Hamlet, a local building contractor in Horspath, was engaged by Oxfordshire County Council to build a double-skinned block wall at each end of the tunnel around a structure of steel box girders, and to infill this with concrete.

	Limenitis astyanax arizonensis in Utah
		This is initially evidenced by third instar larvae as they move away from their perch at the end of the leaf and begin silking the stem of the leaf to the branch; insuring that it does not fall during the winter months.
		Upon completion, the third instar larva will still leave the hibernaculum a few times in order to feed before settling in and hibernating for the winter.
		The hibernaculum is constructed and silked in such a way as to create a snug fit for hibernation; which is necessary as Basilarchia diapausing larvae can desiccate under arid conditions.

	Southeast Alaska: El Capitan Cave
		Following the excavation, the Hibernaculum entrance was securely sealed again.
		The most prominent fossil in the cave was the skeleton of a large female fl bear (Ursus americanus) in the widest part of the passage, 20 meters inside the sealed entrance in the lower part of the den (see photo at right).
		Another thing that caught the attention of the cavers and paleontologists when they first entered the Hibernaculum was the presence of some giant bear bones.

	WREN - Bat Hibernaculum
		Due to the geography and geology of the region, natural underground sites (such as caves) are rare and a study undertaken in Norfolk has revealed that known hibernaculum sites are disappearing at a rate of nearly 2% per year.
		The project aim was for the creation for a hibernaculum at High Lodge Forest Centre and involved the construction of a concrete tunnel in a secluded position.
		It should encourage colonisation of species not recorded in the area, provide a safe haven for a BAP species to breed, and relieve pressure on the only other bat hibernaculum known in the immediate vicinity.

	P. X 'Titan'
		The pollen parent forms a hibernaculum below the surface of the ground, sometimes at a depth of over 1/2 inch depending on the hardness of the growing medium.
		X 'Titan' also forms a large subterranean hibernaculum during a relaltively short dormant period.
		Due to the more firm nature of the growing media, the hibernaculum is not totally buried.

		However, because the snakes use the sites repeatedly (known as site fidelity), individuals whose over-wintering sites are destroyed during the summer (when the site is not occupied) would also be likely to suffer mortality.
		Scientists suspect that massasaugas will search for their destroyed hibernaculum even to the point of being killed by cold temperatures.
		As spring approaches, the air and ground surrounding the outside of the hibernaculum begins to warm.

	Whipsnade hibernaculum project
		One of the containers had contained oil and this has created some problems with air quality.In January 2005 it was cleaned out and the walls reinforced with concrete to strengthen the walls.
		Larry Roberts pointed out it was silly to pay some one to take away the old concrete from these dells and came up with a design for reusing the materials in a cantilevered structure.
		The old entrance was sealed, a new Milton tube one was constructed, a water supply was provided and the whole structure was covered in soil.
