Testosterone influences hibernation in golden-mantled ground squirrels
, 1990 At different phases of the hibernation season, castrated male golden-mantled ground squirrels were implanted with capsules that either were filled with testosterone (T) or left empty (blank).

Seasonal variation in preen gland secretions of Tristram's Storm Petrel (Hydrobates tristrami)
Ibis, EarlyView.Preen gland secretions are known to vary depending on sex, season and species and are thought to play essential roles in avian life history. However, their chemical composition and functions remain largely unclear in Procellariiform seabirds with well‐developed olfactory senses. Storm petrels, known for their distinctive body odour, may use preen gland

Wintering Conditions and Heat Loss during Hibernation in the Brown Long-Eared Bat
Applied SciencesThe aim of this study was to estimate heat loss in the brown long-eared bat during hibernation depending on the refugioclimate conditions. The measured values of refugioclimate parameters were: ambient temperature (Ta) 3–10 °C, relative humidity (Rh) 74 ...

Changes in CNS responsiveness during hibernation
, 1976 The ability of the midbrain reticular formation (MRF) to produce thermogenic responses and to trigger arousal from hibernation was tested during successive quarters of individual hibernation bouts.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...
