Many environmental conditions can constrain the ability of animals to obtain sufficient food
energy, or transform that food energy into useful chemical forms. To survive extended …

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 …

Fatty acids (FA) have crucial functions in animals, affecting eg, inflammatory responses,
thermoregulation, and cell membrane fluidity. Diet and ambient temperature affect animals' …

Hibernating mammals are natural models of resistance to ischemia, hypoxia‐reperfusion
injury, and hypothermia. Daurian ground squirrels (spermophilus dauricus) can adapt to …

Prior to winter, heterotherms retain polyunsaturated fatty acids (“PUFA”), resulting in
enhanced energy savings during hibernation, through deeper and longer torpor bouts …

Abstract Background Most fatty acids (FAs) making up the adipose tissue in mammals have
a dietary origin and suffer little modification when they are stored. However, we propose that …

The study of blubber fatty acids (FAs) has attracted increasing scientific interest due mainly
to its potential use as trophic markers. This is possible because most FAs are transferred …

When at their maximum thermogenic capacity (cold-induced V̇o2max), small endotherms
reach levels of aerobic metabolism as high, or even higher, than running V̇o2max. How …

Hibernating animals can adjust torpor expression according to available energy reserves.
Besides the quantity, the quality of energy reserves could play an important role for …

Highland native deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) have greater rates of lipid oxidation
during maximal cold challenge in hypoxia (hypoxic cold-induced V̇ O2, max) compared …
