Ecological Physiology of Daily Torpor and Hibernation

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the functional ecology of daily torpor and hibernation, the book explores the physiology and thermal energetics of endothermic mammals and birds. It delves into various types of torpor, the evolution of endothermy, and the reproductive and survival strategies of heterothermic animals in response to environmental changes. This comprehensive overview provides valuable insights into how these species adapt their energy use and behavior in fluctuating conditions.
