Oxygen consumption and body temperature in yellow-bellied marmot populations from montane-mesic and lowland-xeric environments

Authors: Armitage, K. B.; Melcher, J. C.; Ward, J. M.
Year: 1990
Journal: Journal of Comparative Physiology B, Vol. 160, pp. 491-502
Publisher: UNKNOWN
DOI: 10.1007/bf00258976
Keywords: ALTITUDINAL VARIATION, ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY, MAMMALOGY, MARMOT, RMBL

Abstract

Yellow-bellied marmots minimize thermoregulatory costs by concentrating activity at times when the microclimate is favorable, by tolerating hyperthermia at high TA in the field, and by having a conductance lower than that predicted from body size.
