| In many hibernacula — the disease seems to afflict bats only during the winter — the mortality rate has reached over ninety per cent. |
|
| During the latter part of August, the larvae descend to the base of the trunk and overwinter in white silken hibernacula. |
|
| Our staff have unparalleled experience in inventorying snakes and locating hibernacula. |
|

|
| Ecologically, species at risk and a garter snake hibernacula at Fort Livingstone are the only features requiring special consideration. |
|
| They moult in the newly constructed hibernacula and remain there until spring. |

| The burrows they hibernate in, called hibernacula, cut off most cues to the world above. |
|
| The caves are likewise closed during the winter when they are occupied as hibernacula. |
|
| Biologists refer to the congregation locales as hibernacula. |
|
| Hibernacula are built by digging a large hole in the ground and then draining away the water to prevent ground frost. |
