The physiology of artificial hibernation [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Translational Research, 2015 Incomplete understanding of the mechanisms responsible for induction of hibernation prevent translation of natural hibernation to its artificial counterpart. To facilitate this translation, a model was developed that identifies the necessary physiological changes for induction of artificial hibernation.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Freshwater turtles play vital roles in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems by supporting ecological balance, nutrient cycling and regulating prey populations. Unfortunately, they are among the most threatened species worldwide. Habitat fragmentation, illegal trade, overharvesting for meat, and use in ethnomedicinal practices have severely ...

HIBERNATION AND THE PITUITARY BODY [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1913 A train of symptoms, coupled with retardation of tissue metabolism and with inactivity of the reproductive glands, not only accompanies states of experimentally induced hypophysial deficiency, but is equally characteristic of clinical states of hypopituitarism.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Expressions of TLR4, MyD88, IRAK4 and NF-κΒ in the oviduct of Chinese brown frog (Rana dybowskii)
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2019 One special physiological phenomenon of the Chinese brown frog (Rana dybowskii) is that its oviduct goes through expansion prior to pre-hibernation instead of expanding during the breeding period. Our previous study discovered that some cytokines such as

Alternative seed trait strategies are linked to a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal allows plants to seek favourable conditions or spread the risk of unfavourable conditions through space and time. While theory predicts a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal, empirical tests have been stymied by the difficulty of measuring ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Migrating songbirds regularly use shallow torpor (up to 98% of birds for some species) to save energy (up to 42%) during inactive periods. This Ruby‐crowned Kinglet Corthylio calendula that was captured after a spring snowstorm highlights the value of being able to save energy when encountering unfavourable conditions.
