Metabolic rate and body temperature reduction during hibernation and daily torpor

F Geiser - Annu. Rev. Physiol., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Although it is well established that during periods of torpor heterothermic
mammals and birds can reduce metabolic rates (MR) substantially, the mechanisms causing …

Beyond the '3/4-power law': variation in the intra-and interspecific scaling of metabolic rate in animals

DS Glazier - Biological reviews, 2005 - cambridge.org
In this review I show that the '3/4-power scaling law'of metabolic rate is not universal, either
within or among animal species. Significant variation in the scaling of metabolic rate with …

The megabiota are disproportionately important for biosphere functioning

BJ Enquist, AJ Abraham, MBJ Harfoot, Y Malhi… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
A prominent signal of the Anthropocene is the extinction and population reduction of the
megabiota—the largest animals and plants on the planet. However, we lack a predictive …

Metabolic depression in animals: physiological perspectives and biochemical generalizations

M Guppy, P Withers - Biological Reviews, 1999 - cambridge.org
Depression of metabolic rate has been recorded for virtually all major animal phyla in
response to environmental stress. The extent of depression is usually measured as the ratio …

[PDF][PDF] Coping with thermal challenges: physiological adaptations to environmental temperatures

GJ Tattersall, BJ Sinclair, PC Withers, PA Fields… - Compr …, 2012 - zaf.biol.pmf.unizg.hr
Temperature profoundly influences physiological responses in animals, primarily due to the
effects on biochemical reaction rates. Since physiological responses are often exemplified …

Metabolic rate depression and biochemical adaptation in anaerobiosis, hibernation and estivation

KB Storey, JM Storey - The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1990 - journals.uchicago.edu
For many animals, the best defense against harsh environmental conditions is an escape to
a hypometabolic or dormant state. Facultative metabolic rate depression is the common …

[图书][B] Ecological physiology of daily torpor and hibernation

F Geiser - 2021 - Springer
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 …

Hibernation in black bears: independence of metabolic suppression from body temperature

Ø Tøien, J Blake, DM Edgar, DA Grahn, HC Heller… - Science, 2011 - science.org
Black bears hibernate for 5 to 7 months a year and, during this time, do not eat, drink,
urinate, or defecate. We measured metabolic rate and body temperature in hibernating black …

Metabolic rate depression in animals: transcriptional and translational controls

KB Storey, JM Storey - Biological Reviews, 2004 - cambridge.org
Metabolic rate depression is an important survival strategy for many animal species and a
common element of hibernation, torpor, aestivation, anaerobiosis, diapause, and …

A unifying explanation for diverse metabolic scaling in animals and plants

DS Glazier - Biological Reviews, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The scaling of metabolic rate with body mass has long been a controversial topic. Some
workers have claimed that the slope of log‐log metabolic scaling relationships typically …
