Molecular and Metabolic Aspects of Mammalian Hibernation

Abstract

713eat seeds from cones and are toolarge to use the subnivian space; forthese animals, winter can be a longseason without foraging opportuni-ties, and they have therefore evolvedthe ability to pass winter by while ina torpid state of lethargy.A highly regulated sequence ofphysiological events beginningmonths in advance of winter coordi-nates entrance into the suspendedstate of animation known as hiber-nation. However, with the exceptionof bears, which become only moder-ately hypothermic, no hibernatingmammal remains deeply hypother-mic for longer than several weeks.Instead, for reasons that are not yetknown, they expend significantamounts of energy to periodicallyrewarm back to normal body tem-peratures for less than a day beforerecooling.The seasonal changes in body tem-perature that occur in an arctic groundsquirrel (

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.
