Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By
aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect …

Ground squirrels exemplify one of the most extreme forms of mammalian hibernation and a
convenient model for studying its mechanisms. Their thermoregulatory system demonstrates …

Hibernators dramatically lower metabolism to save energy while fasting for months.
Prolonged fasting challenges metabolic homeostasis, yet small-bodied hibernators emerge …

Torpor or heterothermy is an energy‐saving mechanism used by endotherms to overcome
harsh environmental conditions. During winter, the garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus) …

The energy‐saving strategy of Djungarian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus, Cricetidae) to
overcome harsh environmental conditions comprises of behavioral, morphological, and …

Hibernation enables many species of the mammalian kingdom to overcome periods of harsh
environmental conditions. During this physically inactive state metabolic rate and body …

Hibernation is a natural model of extreme physiology in a mammal. Throughout winter, small
hibernators repeatedly undergo rapid, dramatic swings in body temperature, perfusion, and …

Many endotherms from diverse taxonomic groups can respond to environmental changes
through dormancy, ie, by greatly reducing their energy expenditure for up to 24 hours (daily …

Hyperplasia and hypertrophy, or their counterparts hypoplasia and hypotrophy, are
elements of the adjustment of organ size and function in animals according to their needs …

Torpor encompasses adaptations to diverse extreme environmental stressors such as
hibernation, aestivation, brumation, and daily torpor. Here we introduce StrokeofGenus, an …
