Cold resistance of mammalian hibernators ∼ a matter of ferroptosis?

Front Physiol

April 2024

Hibernation Metabolism, Physiology and Development Group, Institute of Low Temperature Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.

Most mammals adapt thermal physiology around 37°C and large deviations from their range, as observed in severe hypothermia and hyperthermia, resulting in organ dysfunction and individual death. A prominent exception is mammalian hibernation. Mammalian hibernators resist the long-term duration of severe low body temperature that is lethal to non-hibernators, including humans and mice.

Nest construction in mammals: a review of the patterns of construction and functional roles.

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci

August 2023

School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Lincoln, Joseph Banks Laboratories, Lincoln LN6 7DL, UK.

Nesting behaviour in mammals has been investigated in a wide variety of species but to date there has not been any scholarly review of the incidence and roles of these nests. Not all mammals build nests but, while some large species regularly build nests, nest-building behaviour is more commonly associated with small mammals weighing less than a kilogram. Quantitative data for the amounts of different materials used in a nest are rarely reported but mammal nests are typically constructed from fresh (rather than dead) plant materials.
