Metabolic monitoring during marmot torpor entry (Sciuridae)

Local Knowledge Graph (15 entities)

Knowledge graph centered on Metabolic monitoring during marmot torpor entry (Sciuridae) with 15 nodes and 38 connections. Top connected: mark-recapture (Sciuridae), Reproductive strategies of yellow-bellied marmots:, winter survival, fitness consequences, reproductive suppression.

Description

Simultaneous measurement of oxygen consumption, body temperature, and conductance in marmots entering torpor to determine mechanisms of metabolic depression. Q10 analysis used to distinguish active metabolic inhibition from passive temperature effects.

Typical Equipment

• oxygen consumption measurement system
• temperature monitoring system
• conductance measurement system

Output Measurements

• oxygen consumption
• body temperature
• conductance
• Q10 values
