- W24339259 abstract "This chapter discusses the concept of hibernation in mammals. Many of the so-called hibernators do not encounter very low ambient temperatures because they can retreat to microenvironments where very low ambient temperatures are not encountered or they live in regions of moderate climate. Some of these species are diurnal, and they are confronted with problems of high ambient temperature where water is also limited. If any of these species are seldom seen during the hot, dry periods, it is frequently assumed they are dormant. Such species have been called estivators. The only example of a mammal torpid exclusively during the hot, dry period with the dormancy thought to be induced directly as a result of high water shortage is the white-footed mouse Peromyscus eremicus. Many small mammals lower their body temperature for short periods of time, in some cases spontaneously and in others as a consequence of food deprivation and can spontaneously return to normothermic temperature levels. There is considerable variation in depth to which they permit their body temperatures to drop. Some of these species also hibernate. Heterothermy has often been used to describe the wide fluctuations in body temperature, which may be a kind of daily torpor. The wide spectrum of physiological features among various types of hibernators reflect the habitat to which the species is adapted, and in view of the difficulty of delineating hibernation, estivation, and daily torpor, it is useful to use a more general term such as torpidity." @default.
