A shift in 24-h activity between summer and winter likely allowed pangolins to conserve energy by reducing potential heat loss.
“Therefore, a shift in 24-h activity between summer and winter likely allowed pangolins to conserve energy by reducing potential heat loss, as has been shown for nocturnal white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus), where a shift in 24-h activity during winter resulted in a reduced potential heat loss of 4% (Guiden and Orrock, 2020).”
From Temminck’s pangolins relax the precision of body temperature regulation when resources are scarce in a semi-arid environment (2023) · cites this paper as Guiden and Orrock, 2020

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
