day-roost (refugio diurno)

Contexto del término This may explain their often broad geographical distributions, the range of habitats they occur in and their dispersal patterns, as well as their significant role in ecosystem services. They use different day roost sites that include caves, rock shelters, buildings in public spaces, wells, abandoned houses, ancient monuments and mines (Kumar et al., 2015; Lučan et al., 2016); and in many cases these sites are outside of natural habitats. The use of human-built structures for roosting is a form of adaptation, whether this has been caused by natural habitat loss or range expansion, and in either case attest to their ability to modify aspects of their life history, as is also the case with their foraging on cultivated plants.
