Reproduction is an energetically costly, but necessary, process for animals. Small mammals in particular are at a disadvantage as they experience high heat losses to their environment, substantially increasing their energetic costs. However, many sma

Dentro del orden Coleoptera, se encuentra la familia Coccinellidae, que agrupa pequeños insectos depredadores conocidos comúnmente como chinitas o mariquitas. En Chile existen 5 sub-familias, con alrededor de 115 especies, las cuales se encuentran

Remote measurements of body temperature ( T b ) in animals require implantation of relatively large temperature-sensitive radio-transmitters or data loggers, whereas rectal temperature ( T rec ) measurements require handling and therefore may bias th

Radiotelemetry is used to quantify behavioral, ecological, and physiological variables of animals. Because of technological limitations, relative transmitter size generally increases with decreasing body mass of the study animal, and the recommended

Many small desert dasyurids employ torpor almost daily during winter, because cold nights and low food availability impose high energetic costs. However, in Western Australia the arid zone extends into tropical, coastal regions, where winter temperat

Although storms provide an extreme environmental challenge to organisms and are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity due to climate change, there are no quantitative observations on the behaviour and physiology of animals during natural d

Mammalian torpor saves enormous amounts of energy, but a widely assumed cost of torpor is immobility and therefore vulnerability to predators. Contrary to this assumption, some small marsupial mammals in the wild move while torpid at low body tempera

Antechinus are small, insectivorous, heterothermic marsupial mammals that use torpor from late summer to early winter and reproduce once a year in late winter/early spring. Males die after mating, most females produce only a single litter, but some s
