Challenges of measuring body temperatures of free-ranging birds and mammals
DJ McCafferty, S Gallon, A Nord - Animal Biotelemetry, 2015 - Springer
The thermal physiology of most birds and mammals is characterised by considerable spatial
and temporal variation in body temperature. Body temperature is, therefore, a key parameter …

The pace-of-life syndrome revisited: the role of ecological conditions and natural history on the slow-fast continuum
PO Montiglio, M Dammhahn, G Dubuc Messier… - Behavioral Ecology and …, 2018 - Springer
The pace-of-life syndrome (ie, POLS) hypothesis posits that behavioral and physiological
traits mediate the trade-off between current and future reproduction. This hypothesis predicts …

Rare and Opportunistic Use of Torpor in Mammals—An Echo from the Past?
Torpor was traditionally seen as a winter survival mechanism employed by animals living in
cold and highly seasonal habitats. Although we now know that torpor is also used by tropical …
