Molecular Variation in Thermoregulatory Adaptation in Rodents.

Abstract excerpt

AbstractEndothermic homeothermy, a key adaptation in mammals and birds, enables survival across diverse environments, albeit at significant energetic costs. Some mammals mitigate these costs through flexible thermoregulation, alternating homeothermy with daily heterothermy or hibernation in response to environmental variability. We hypothesize that flexible thermoregulators have evolved adaptive molecular changes...
