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

Ecology of zoonotic infectious diseases in bats: current knowledge and future directions
Bats are hosts to a range of zoonotic and potentially zoonotic pathogens. Human activities
that increase exposure to bats will likely increase the opportunity for infections to spill over in …

[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 importance of temporal heterothermy in bats
Animals must balance their energy budgets even when confronted with periodic food
shortages and/or adverse environmental conditions. Especially, small endothermic animals …
