Solar radiation during rewarming from torpor in elephant shrews: supplementation or substitution of endogenous heat production?

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Thompson Michelle L, Mzilikazi Nomakwezi, Bennett Nigel C, McKechnie Andrew E

Abstract excerpt

Many small mammals bask in the sun during rewarming from heterothermy, but the implications of this behaviour for their energy balance remain little understood. Specifically, it remains unclear whether solar radiation supplements endogenous metabolic thermogenesis (i.e., rewarming occurs through the additive effects of internally-produced and external heat), or whether solar radiation reduces the energy required...
