Quantifying energetic and fitness consequences of seasonal heterothermy in an Arctic ungulate
Abstract Animals have adapted behavioral and physiological strategies to conserve energy during periods of adverse conditions. Heterothermy is one such adaptation used by endotherms. While heterothermy—fluctuations in body temperature and metabolic rate—has been shown in large vertebrates, little is...
