Basal rate of metabolism (BMR) is a physiological parameter that should be measured
under strictly defined experimental conditions. In comparative analyses among mammals …

The effect of the macro-and microclimate on small mammal thermoregulation in the past has
been studied independently instead of investigating the dual effect of both the components …

Physiological diversity in thermoregulatory traits has been extensively investigated in both
endo-and ectothermic vertebrates, with many studies revealing that thermal physiology has …

Mammals exposed to low temperatures increase their metabolic rate to maintain constant
body temperature and thus compensate for heat loss. This high and costly energetic …

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) correlates with the cost of life in endothermic animals. It usually
differs consistently among individuals in a population, but it may be adjusted in response to …

Small mammals that are active all year must develop ways to survive the cold winters.
Endotherms that experience prolonged cold exposure often increase their thermogenic …

Even when environmental variation over time and space is commonly considered as an
important driver of population divergence, few evaluations of intraspecific genetic variation …

Ambient temperature strongly affects an ecosystem's characteristics as well as the attributes
of individuals, eventually determining the distribution of populations and species …

In the altricial rodent, Phyllotis darwini, we found higher body temperatures and faster
developmental rates of the thermoregulatory capacity in neonates born from cold-than warm …

During periods of adverse conditions small endotherms depend on a continuous supply of
food and energy to maintain body temperature. Thus, rapid and reversible phenotypic …
