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

Mammals have evolved a range of behavioural and neurological mechanisms that
coordinate cycles of thermoregulation and sleep. Whether diurnal or nocturnal, sleep onset …

Hibernating mammals actively lower their body temperature to reduce energy expenditure
when facing food scarcity. This ability to induce a hypometabolic state has evoked great …

The energy allocation (EA) model defines behavioral strategies that optimize the temporal
utilization of energy to maximize reproductive success. This model proposes that all species …

Black bears hibernate for 5 to 7 months a year and, during this time, do not eat, drink,
urinate, or defecate. We measured metabolic rate and body temperature in hibernating black …

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 …

Climatic shifts to warmer and often drier conditions are challenging terrestrial species
worldwide. These shifts are occurring more rapidly at higher elevations and latitudes, likely …

Extended bouts of fasting are ingrained in the ecology of many organisms, characterizing
aspects of reproduction, development, hibernation, estivation, migration, and infrequent …

Though seasonally dry tropical forests are equally as important to global biodiversity as
tropical rainforests, and are one of the most representative and highly endangered …
