Climatic shifts to warmer and often drier conditions are challenging terrestrial species
worldwide. These shifts are occurring more rapidly at higher elevations and latitudes, likely …

Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By
aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect …

Recent palaeontological data and novel physiological hypotheses now allow a timescaled
reconstruction of the evolution of endothermy in birds and mammals. A three‐phase iterative …

The last 'hibernation book'was published in 1982, nearly 40 years ago, so clearly an update
was needed. The options were a book written by a single author or an edited book written by …

Nesting behaviour in mammals has been investigated in a wide variety of species but to
date there has not been any scholarly review of the incidence and roles of these nests. Not …

Increased winter survival by reducing energy expenditure in adult animals is often viewed as
the primary function of torpor. However, torpor has many other functions that ultimately …

Daily torpor and hibernation (multiday torpor) are the most efficient means for energy
conservation in endothermic birds and mammals and are used by many small species to …

Mammalian heterotherms, species that employ short or long periods of torpor, are found in
many different climatic regions. Although the underlying physiological mechanisms of …

Torpor and reproduction in mammals and birds are widely viewed as mutually exclusive
processes because of opposing energetic and hormonal demands. However, the reported …

Global climate change is expected to have strong effects on the world's flora and fauna. As a
result, there has been a recent increase in the number of meta-analyses and mechanistic …
