Abstract
The relationship between habitat temperature, ambient temperature, and radiation for a series of insectan habitats on poplar leaves is shown to be highly specific. A series of these relationships is described and the possible ecological significance of the findings is discussed. The amount of heating experienced is shown to be influenced by the size and shape of the structure, and its absorptivity and ventilation.Keywords
