Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of mammalian hibernation, exploring the physiological mechanisms that allow certain animals to survive harsh winters in a state of deep sleep. The author investigates the differences between hibernation and artificial hypothermia, highlighting the unique adaptations of hibernating animals, such as their ability to withstand extreme cold and oxygen deprivation. Through a comparative approach, the book examines the heat economy of both primitive mammals and tropical species, shedding light on the evolutionary development of homeothermism. The author also explores the role of external factors, such as environmental temperature and food availability, in triggering and maintaining hibernation. The book offers a comprehensive look at the complex physiological and ecological processes involved in this remarkable survival strategy, revealing the intricate ways in which animals adapt to their environments. The insights presented in this book provide a rich understanding of the physiological and ecological diversity of mammals and their remarkable ability to adapt to diverse challenges.
