Heterothermy as a mechanism to offset energetic costs of environmental and homeostatic perturbations
Environmental and biotic pressures impose homeostatic costs on all organisms. The energetic costs of maintaining high body temperatures (T(b)) render endotherms sensitive to pressures that increase foraging costs. In response, some mammals become more heterothermic to conserve energy. We measured T(...
