Timing of winter phenotype expression determines individual chances of survival until the next reproductive season. Environmental cues triggering this seasonal phenotypic transition have rarely been investigated, although they play a central role in the compensation of climatic fluctuations via plastic phenotypic adjustments. Initiation of winter daily torpor use—a widespread energy-saving phenotype—could be primarily timed according to anticipatory seasonal cues (anticipatory cues hypothesis… Expand
