Seasonal Changes and Phenotypic Flexibility in the Digestive System of the Hibernating Marsupial Dromiciops gliroides.

Journal of experimental zoology. Part A, Ecological and integrative physiology - 1 Oct 2025

Abstract excerpt

During hibernation, reduced metabolic activity enables to withstand periods of limited resources and harsh weather. Therefore, animals exhibit reduced activity and decreased feeding, which involves energy savings. Thus, a reduction in both physiological and morphological digestive capacities is expected due to the prolonged metabolic depression of hibernation, which involves phenotypic flexibility of the...
