An Energy-Based Body Temperature Threshold between Torpor and Normothermia for Small Mammals
(The University of Chicago, 2007-09-05)
Field studies of use of torpor by heterothermic endotherms suffer from the lack of a standardized threshold differentiating torpid body temperatures (T_b) from normothermic T_b's. This threshold can be more readily observed ...
Could localized warm areas inside cold caves reduce mortality of hibernating bats affected by white-nose syndrome?
(2009-03-05)
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a mysterious condition affecting populations of hibernating bats in the northeastern US. Little is known about its physiological effects on bats and no intervention has so far been proposed to ...
