Comparative analyses of basal rate of metabolism in mammals: data selection does matter
Basal rate of metabolism (BMR) is a physiological parameter that should be measured
under strictly defined experimental conditions. In comparative analyses among mammals …

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

Climate change is affecting mortality of weasels due to camouflage mismatch
K Atmeh, A Andruszkiewicz, K Zub - Scientific Reports, 2018 - nature.com
Direct phenological mismatch caused by climate change can occur in mammals that moult

Geographic patterns in seasonal changes of body mass, skull, and brain size of common shrews
Some small mammals exhibit Dehnel's Phenomenon, a drastic decrease in body mass,
braincase, and brain size from summer to winter, followed by a regrowth in spring. This is …

Profound seasonal shrinking and regrowth of the ossified braincase in phylogenetically distant mammals with similar life histories
Ontogenetic changes in skull shape and size are ubiquitous in altricial vertebrates, but
typically unidirectional and minimal in full-grown animals. Red-toothed shrews exhibit a rare …

Nonlinear mixed models of growth curves from domestic shorthair cats in a breeding colony, housed in a seasonal facility to predict obesity
NJ Cave, JP Bridges, K Weidgraaf… - Journal of animal …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Obesity is highly prevalent in pet cats (Felis silvestris catus) and is associated with several
comorbidities, yet very little is understood about the early life risk factors. The aim of this …

Effect of reproduction on the consistency of the between–line type divergence in laboratory mice selected on basal metabolic rate
Artificial selection experiments are an effective tool for testing evolutionary hypotheses,
because they allow one to separate genetic and environmental variances of the phenotype …

A Serra - 2024 - core.ac.uk
Background A decline is expected in the range of the American pika (Ochotona princeps), a

The abundance and behavioral ecology of Cape Cod gray seals under predation risk from white sharks
J Moxley - 2016 - search.proquest.com
The ultimate goal of wildlife recovery is abundance growth of a species, though it must also
involve the reestablishment of the species' ecological role within ecosystems frequently …

Continuous growth through winter correlates with increased resting metabolic rate but does not affect daily energy budgets due to torpor use
Small mammals that are specialists in homeothermic thermoregulation reduce their self-
maintenance costs of normothermy to survive the winter. By contrast, heterothermic ones …
