Variations in Badger (Meles meles) Sett Microclimate: Differential Cub Survival between Main and Subsidiary Setts, with Implications for Artificial Sett Construction

Figure 3

External (EAT) and internal (CIST) sett temperature change over ten periods between late February and early July 2004. Period 1: 26th February– In 2004, February had 29th. So there is no problem in 1st March for the five continuous days monitoring, same as other period. Period 2: 11th–15th March, Period 3: 25th–29th March, Period 4: 8th–12th April, Period 5: 25th–29th April, Period 6: 7th–11th May, Period 7: 21st–25th May, Period 8: 5th–9th June, Period 9: 20th–24th June, and Period 10: 5th–9th July.
