Popis:	Understanding the physiological adaptations of animals living in mountain landscapes is a key to predicting the responses of individuals to environmental changes, especially those imposed by climate. In this regard, the mechanism of body temperature regulation is particularly important in determining the physiological limits for activity under hypoxic and climatic stressful conditions. Numerous studies have shown that body temperature of rodents and other animals decreases with elevation and with extreme winter temperatures. But surprisingly, it is still not known how body temperature of wild animals varies along elevation during their reproductive seasons. We studied variation in core body temperature among individuals (
