Resource-mediated thermoregulation and energetics of a northern population of red squirrels «Tamiasciurus hudsonicus)» in winter
Winter is an energetically challenging season for endotherms in temperate and northern climates because seasonally low food availability is paired with high costs for thermoregulation. In response to this apparent energetic mis-match, animals can use both physiological and behavioural adapt...
