Phodopus

At temperate latitudes, organisms use annual changes in daylength (photoperiod) to synchronise seasonal physiology and behaviour… Expand

SummaryIn Phodopus sungorus spontaneous shallow daily torpor occurred only during winter. Frequency of torpor was not affected by… Expand

Among the suite of seasonal adaptations displayed by nontropical rodents, some species demonstrate increased territorial… Expand

We present the first evidence that suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3), a protein inhibiting Janus kinase/signal… Expand

Many adaptations have evolved in small mammals to maximize survival during winter. One such coping tactic in many species is an… Expand

Abstract During seasonal acclimation, Djungarian hamsters spontaneously exhibit a reduction in food intake, body mass and body… Expand

Many nontropical rodent species display seasonal changes in both physiology and behavior that occur primarily in response to… Expand

We investigated the influence of ambient temperature (Ta) and food availability on seasonal timing and extent of physiological… Expand

To determine which parameter of the day/night pattern of pineal melatonin secretion is the critical component signaling daylength… Expand

Male Djungarian hamsters were raised from birth in either long (16L:8D) or short (8L:16D) photoperiods. In 16L:8D, testes were… Expand
