Hummingbirds Choose How Much to Chill Down 2022-05-31T04:00:00Z Bears enter a state called torpor in which they slow down body functions to preserve energy and stay warm through the winter. Mauling by Alaska bear spurred by accidental den encounter 2021-02-10T05:00:00Z Instead they enter a less deep sleep known as torpor. Early humans may have survived the harsh winters by hibernating 2020-12-20T05:00:00Z Many bats of the temperate zones are also capable of daily torpor, reducing their body temperature and oxygen consumption while they are inactive, to save energy. Opinion | The Virus, the Bats and Us 2020-12-11T05:00:00Z Larger animals can engage in torpor while smaller animals cannot.

Opinion | The Virus, the Bats and Us 2020-12-11T05:00:00Z Hummingbirds in the Peruvian Andes enter a state of torpor at night to conserve energy, dipping their body temperatures to as low as 38 degrees Fahrenheit. High-Elevation Hummingbirds Evolved a Temperature Trick 2020-09-15T04:00:00Z This is the first scientific documentation of shallow torpor in hummingbirds, Witt says, “but it’s very clearly part of their thermal regulatory strategy.” Hummingbirds Choose How Much to Chill Down 2022-05-31T04:00:00Z They measured the hummingbirds’ body temperatures as they roosted for the night and found that almost all of them entered torpor, showing a steep decline in temperature partway through the night.

Early humans may have survived the harsh winters by hibernating 2020-12-20T05:00:00Z Unlike hibernation, this is not a prolonged state: after a night in torpor, the hummingbird’s metabolic rate rises again, with its body temperature reaching around 40C. Hummingbird's temperature can fall to 3.3C at night to preserve energy 2020-09-09T04:00:00Z In this state, called torpor, a bird is motionless and unresponsive.

Discovering Colombia's rare flora and fauna 2020-06-06T04:00:00Z McKechnie said further analysis showed that the differences in torpor between the various species was, at least in part, rooted in evolution. Hummingbird's temperature can fall to 3.3C at night to preserve energy 2020-09-09T04:00:00Z The mechanisms that control torpor and other hypothermic states—in which body temperatures drop below 37 degrees Celsius—are largely unknown. Switch in Mouse Brain Induces a Deep Slumber Similar to Hibernation 2020-06-15T04:00:00Z "To answer these questions, we must first study the fundamental biology of torpor and hibernation in animals.
