Many birds and mammals drastically reduce their energy expenditure during times of cold
exposure, food shortage, or drought, by temporarily abandoning euthermia, ie the …

1.1. Influence of the Composition Coordination polymers or MOFs (metalÀorganic
frameworks) are the latest class of ordered porous solids. 1À5Since their discovery in 1989 …

The mammalian brain is highly vulnerable to oxygen deprivation, yet the mechanism
underlying the brain's sensitivity to hypoxia is incompletely understood. Hypoxia induces …

Mammals have evolved a range of behavioural and neurological mechanisms that
coordinate cycles of thermoregulation and sleep. Whether diurnal or nocturnal, sleep onset …

Managing metabolic resources is critical for insects during diapause when food sources are
limited or unavailable. Insects accumulate reserves prior to diapause, and metabolic …

Mammals normally maintain their core body temperature (CBT) despite changes in
environmental temperature. Exceptions to this norm include suspended animation–like …

Diet, host gene composition, and alterations in the intestinal microbiota can contribute to
obesity. In microbe-induced obesity, metabolic changes stem from primary perturbation of …

Daily torpor and hibernation are the most powerful measures of endotherms to reduce their
energy expenditure. During entrance into these torpid states metabolic rate is suppressed to …

The last 'hibernation book'was published in 1982, nearly 40 years ago, so clearly an update
was needed. The options were a book written by a single author or an edited book written by …

Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) and RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) are
two evolutionarily conserved RNA-binding proteins that are transcriptionally upregulated in …
