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

▪ Abstract Although it is well established that during periods of torpor heterothermic
mammals and birds can reduce metabolic rates (MR) substantially, the mechanisms causing …

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 …

Hibernating arctic ground squirrels, Spermophilus parryii, were able to adopt and
spontaneously arouse from core body temperatures as low as-2.9° C without freezing …

Hibernation is widely regarded as an adaptation to seasonal energy shortage, but the actual
influence of energy availability on hibernation patterns is rarely considered. Here we review …

Hibernation and daily torpor are usually considered to be two distinct patterns of
heterothermia. In the present comparison we evaluated (1) whether physiological variables …

Thriving in times of resource scarcity requires an incredible flexibility of behavioral,
physiological, cellular, and molecular functions that must change within a relatively short …

Neurofibrillary pathology [paired helical filaments (PHFs)] formed by the microtubule-

Climatic shifts to warmer and often drier conditions are challenging terrestrial species
worldwide. These shifts are occurring more rapidly at higher elevations and latitudes, likely …
