Increased Diurnal Activity Is Indicative of Energy Deficit in a Nocturnal Mammal, the Aardvark
Shifting activity to cooler times of day buffers animals from increased heat and aridity under climate change. Conversely, when resources are limited, some nocturnal species become more diurnal, reducing energetic costs of keeping warm at night. Aardvarks (Orycteropus afer) are nocturnal, obligate a...
