Flickering body temperature anticipates criticality in hibernation dynamics [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Hibernation has been selected for increasing survival in harsh climatic environments. Seasonal variability in temperature may push the body temperatures of hibernating animals across boundaries of alternative states between euthermic temperature and ...
