Tropical Heterothermy: Does the Exception Prove the Rule or Force a Re-Definition?to distinguish and define patterns of heterothermy are insufficient in face of the numerous forms of torpor expression and high daily variation in normothermic body temperature (..) observed in species inhabiting the tropics. Tropical heterothermy often occurs at highly variable ambient temperatures

We also investigated if this species made any seasonal adjustments to basal metabolic rates. . were heterothermic on a 100% of the measurement days. The minimum body temperature recorded was 1.5°C and the longest torpor bout without arousal was 8?days

Evolutionary Ecology of Mammalian Hibernation Phenology studied is the laboratory. Our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary significance of natural hibernation expression thus lags behind the impressive body of work that has been done on its physiological and biochemical mechanisms. In this chapter, I review studies that have been done on ph

Interrelationships Among Timing of Hibernation, Reproduction, and Warming Soil in Free-Living Femaleiming of annual events of hibernation and reproduction. Using long-term data collected from two arctic ground squirrel populations living 20?km apart in northern Alaska, we investigate the relationships between the timing of hibernation and reproduction and, in addition, the potential for change in

Our study investigates the effects of variation in climatic conditions, as experienced by climate change, on hibernation physiology and energy balance of a small hibernating mammal, the hazel dormouse (.).

Comparison of Variables of Torpor Between Populations of a Hibernating Subtropical/Tropical Bat at Danimals adapt to different climates. I investigated variables of torpor in free-ranging ., a hibernating subtropical/tropical insectivorous microbat, during winter from a subtropical region and a tropical region. Mean torpor bout duration was significantly shorter and mean minimum skin temperature o

Functional

The Other Functions of Torporthis may not always be the case. We examined whether other functions of torpor may be equally or even more important in some instances. Torpor enhances fat storage during migration, apparently permits prolonged female sperm storage in bats, allows reproduction with limited or fluctuating food supply

Survival, Aging, and Life-History Tactics in Mammalian Hibernators, we review accumulating evidence suggesting that hibernation is part of a specific “slow-paced” mammalian life-history tactic that is associated with increased survival, retarded physiological aging, increased maximum longevity, low rates of fecundity, and long generation times. We argue that these

Does Age Matter? Effects of Age on Hibernation Patterns in Edible Dormice (,), measured in 34 dormice implanted with temperature loggers, were best explained by effects of age. On average, each year of life shortened the hibernation duration by 15.17?days. While we did not observe significant changes in the timing of hibernation onset, every additional year of life led to an
