Abstract:
This report summarizes the results of a I1/2-year observation on hibernation of the ground squirrels (Citellus dauricus) under laboratory conditions during 1980, 10-1982, 4 .The body temperatuer (Tb) of the homoiothermal or euthermal animal has its own pattern of circannual rhythm which does not completely depend on the seasonal change in the ambient temperature (Ta).In the months following the emergence from hibernation, animals usually have a higher and steady Tb, the Tb of euthermic animals (inguinal ski...
