Metabolic rate in common shrews is unaffected by temperature, leading to lower energetic costs through seasonal size reduction
Small endothermic mammals have high metabolisms, particularly at cold temperatures. In the light of this, some species have evolved a seemingly illogical strategy: they reduce the size of the brain and several organs to become even smaller in winter. To test how this morphological strategy affects e...
