The article discusses research on the activity levels of southern hairy-nosed wombat or Lasiorhinus latifrons and how they are correlated to the environmental parameters of the species. It references a study by G. R. Finlayson at Coffey Environments in Burswood, Western Australia, and his colleagues, published in an issue of "Australian Mammalogy." The researchers concluded that the use of data-loggers is effective when studying the behaviors of cryptic and semifossorial mammals like the southern hairy-nosed wombat. They also found that ambient temperature significantly affect the nocturnal activity of these animals.
