The physiological costs of reproduction in small mammals
JR Speakman - … Transactions of the Royal Society B …, 2008 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Life-history trade-offs between components of fitness arise because reproduction entails
both gains and costs. Costs of reproduction can be divided into ecological and physiological …

[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 …

The other functions of torpor
F Geiser, RM Brigham - Living in a seasonal world: thermoregulatory and …, 2012 - Springer
Although energy conservation by cold-climate adult endotherms in winter is often viewed as
the main function of torpor, recent evidence suggests that this may not always be the case …

The tradeoff between torpor use and reproduction in little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus)
YA Dzal, RM Brigham - Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2013 - Springer
In mammals, reproduction, especially for females is energetically demanding. Therefore,
during the reproductive period females could potentially adjust patterns of thermoregulation …

Torpor during reproduction in mammals and birds: dealing with an energetic conundrum
BM McAllan, F Geiser - American Zoologist, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Torpor and reproduction in mammals and birds are widely viewed as mutually exclusive
processes because of opposing energetic and hormonal demands. However, the reported …
