I'm not up to speed on the latest methods so I can't offer specific
advice, but I suggest you take a look at work with bats. Bat researchers
often collect temperature profiles of roosts (shelters used by bats) to
investigate roost preferences and thermoregulation.

Ecologgers,
I have a master's student who is examining thermal preferences of two
species of scorpions in the Sky Islands of southeastern Arizona. She has
gathered some field temperature data as part of her thesis, but we are
unsure how best to analyze the data (or perhaps more specifically,
I should know more, but my experience is limited and old. As part of a
field methods course including counting soil insects, we collected raw
numbers in a whole lot of categories, then input them into a multivariate
analysis program (SAS, at the time). We came up with a few interesting
