The influence of gender on thermoregulation in pouched mice, Saccostomus campestris.
Saccostomus campestris display sexual disparity in the use of summer daily torpor in response to energy stress. The hypothesis that males may compensate for a limited heterothermic capacity with lower normothermic body temperatures by maintaining lower resting metabolic rates relative to females was...
