Fast life in the slow lane : life history and energetics of a basal placental mammal Setifer setosus (Schreber, 1778).
There is increasing evidence that homeothermy (the maintenance of a high and stable body temperature-Tb) as observed in modern mammals was derived from an ancestral heterothermic (flexible Tb regulation) state. One of main hypotheses for why this occurred is that homeothermy benefits parental care....
