Abstract

In the face of climate change, the life history traits of large terrestrial mammals will prevent them from adapting genetically at a sufficient pace to keep track with changing environments, and habitat fragmentation will preclude them from shifting their distribution range. Predicting how habitat-bound large mammals will respond to environmental change requires measurement of their sensitivity and exposure to changes in the environment, as well as the extent to which phenotypic plasticity can buffer them against the changes. Behavioural modifications, such as a shift to nocturnal foraging or selection of a cool microclimate, may buffer free-living mammals against thermal and water stress, but may carry a cost, for example by reducing foraging time or increasing predation risk. Large mammals also use physiological responses to buffer themselves against changing environments, but those buffers may be compromised by a changing physical environment. A decrease in the available food energy or water leads to a trade-off in which the precision of homeothermy is relaxed, resulting in large daily fluctuations in body temperature. Understanding how large mammals prioritise competing homeostatic systems in changing environments, and the consequences of that prioritisation for their fitness, requires long-term monitoring of identifiable individual animals in their natural habitat. Although body size predicts general ecological and energetic patterns of terrestrial mammals, high intraspecific and interspecific variability means that a species-directed approach is required to accurately model responses of large mammals to climate change.

  • When food becomes less available, nocturnal mammals may respond by reducing their metabolic rate and body temperature, or by switching to diurnal activity.

    “When food becomes less available, nocturnal mammals may respond by reducing their metabolic rate and body temperature (Kelm and von Helversen, 2007; Fuller et al., 2016; Hetem et al., 2016), or by switching to diurnal activity (Van der Vinne et al., 2019; 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 Fuller et al., 2016

    The Physiological adjustments section says that large mammals with insufficient food availability can show lower metabolic rates and body temperatures. The Behavioural adjustments section describes some mammals shifting to nocturnal activity, but the paper does not establish this physiological response specifically for nocturnal mammals. The switch to diurnal activity is attributed to other citations in the citing sentence, not to Fuller et al. (LLM, conf=0.82)

  • Although food energy is important for the maintenance of high body temperatures, sufficient body water is needed for evaporative cooling.

    “Although food energy is important for the maintenance of high body temperatures, sufficient body water is needed for evaporative cooling (Ostrowski et al., 2003; Fuller et al., 2016; Hetem et al., 2016).”

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.
