PMID: 37419503
Torpor is an incredibly efficient energy-saving strategy that many endothermic birds and mammals use to save energy, by lowering their metabolic rates, heart rates, and typically body temperatures. Over the...

J Therm Biol
. 2023 Feb;

PMID: 36796880
For reproducing animals, maintaining energy balance despite thermoregulatory challenges is important for surviving and successfully raising offspring. This is especially apparent in small endotherms that exhibit high mass-specific metabolic rates...

Integr Comp Biol
. 2022 Aug;
PMID: 35963649
Females and males can exhibit striking differences in body size, relative trait size, physiology and behavior. As a consequence the sexes can have very different rates of whole-body energy use,...

J Exp Biol
. 2022 Jan;
225(2).
PMID: 34989393
Many endotherms use torpor, saving energy by a controlled reduction of their body temperature and metabolic rate. Some species (e.g. arctic ground squirrels, hummingbirds) enter deep torpor, dropping their body...
