#' @details Within this data set, and generally through out the package
#' \code{T} will represent a temperature value, while \code{t} will represent
#' a time value.

#' Naming of variables is largely drawn from the "Physiological
#' Ecology and Energetics of Bats" by Speakman and Thomas contained within
#' Bat Ecology.

#' The data in contained within is composed of data gleaned from the literature,
#' as well as data generated through the SERDP project and in conjunction with
#' collaboraters in Canada.
