Abstrakt:	Torpor is an incredibly efficient energy-saving strategy that many endothermic birds and mammals use to save energy, by lowering their metabolic rates, heart rates, and typically body temperatures. Over the last few decades, the study of daily torpor-in which torpor is used for less than 24 hours per bout-has advanced rapidly. The papers in this issue cover the ecological and evolutionary drivers of torpor, as well as some of the mechanisms governing torpor use. We identified broad focus areas that need special attention: clearly defining the various parameters that indicate torpor use and identifying the genetic and neurological mechanisms regulating torpor. Recent studies on daily torpor and heterothermy, including the ones in this issue, have furthered the field immensely. We look forward to a period of immense growth in this field.
