Precocious Torpor in an Altricial Mammal and the Functional Implications of Heterothermy During Development
Most mammals and birds are altricial, small and naked at birth/hatching. They attain endothermic thermoregulation at a fraction of their adult size at a vulnerable stage with high heat loss when many could profit from using torpor for energy conservation. Nevertheless, detailed data on the interrela...
