Comparative transcriptomics of the garden dormouse hypothalamus during hibernation

FEBS Open Bio
Torpor or heterothermy is an energy‐saving mechanism used by endotherms to overcome harsh environmental conditions. During winter, the garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus) hibernates with multiday torpor bouts and body temperatures of a few degrees ...

Heterothermy in pouched mammals - a review

, 2018
Hibernation and daily torpor (i.e. temporal heterothermy) have been reported in many marsupial species of diverse families and are known to occur in approximate to 15% of all marsupials, which is a greater proportion than the percentage of heterothermic placentals.
