The low temperatures encountered by overwintering frogs result in a large downregulation of metabolism and behaviour. However, little is known about acid-base regulation in the extreme cold, especially when frogs become exclusive skin-breathers…
The processes of lipid deposition and utilization, via the gene leptin (Lep), are poorly understood in taxa with varying degrees of adipose storage. This study examines how these systems may have adapted in marine aquatic environments inhabited by…
Thyroid hormones boost animals' basal metabolic rate and represent an important thermoregulatory pathway for mammals that face cold temperatures. Whereas the cold thermal pressures experienced by primates in seasonal habitats at high latitudes and…
