Coming out of hibernation : the Canadian public trust doctrine
This thesis appears to be the first academic recognition of the public trust doctrine at Canadian common law. Surprisingly, despite the explosion of the doctrine in the United States, there has been little consideration of the doctrine by Canadian courts and only one Canadian article on the …

Hibernation is super complex: dynamics of electron transport system supercomplexes
… ground squirrels (TLGS) in different hibernation states and measured mitochondrial respiration. I extracted mitochondrial proteins using two detergents of different strengths, and quantified SC abundance using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. Rats had fewer SCs …

Thermoregulation, hibernation and reproduction in the South African hedgehog Erinaceus frontalis A. Smith
The relationship between oxygen consumption (Vo2), ambient temperature (Ta) and body temperature (Tb) in the South African hedgehog (Erinaceus frontalis) was recorded in spring (September- October 1986), autumn (March-April 1987), winter (July-August 1987) and summer (November- December 1987). In …

Physiological Plasticity and Ecology of the Yellow Mud Turtle (Kinosternon Flavescens) During Hibernation
… measured at the beginning and end of simulated hibernation, and following recovery in water after hibernation ended. Most blood chemistry variables increased in concentration during hibernation then returned to pre-hibernation levels following post hibernation rehydration. Glucose alone was …

Evolution at the edge: how hibernation, heat waves, and hybridization impact a range expansion
Evolutionary processes shape the diversity of life on earth. Over millennia, species diverge from one another, radiating out into the tree of life. The same processes of evolution are also acting in much shorter periods of time, selecting for traits, mixing genes across populations, and generating …

Thyroid Hormones and the Onset of Hibernation in the 13-Lined Ground Squirrel, Spermophilus Tridecemlineatus
… endocrine glands thought to play a role in hibernation have been more thoroughly studies with more conflicting results than the thyroid gland. In most species, the thyroid gradually becomes less active throughout late spring and summer, and virtually ceases activity by the time the animal …

Temperature-dependent alterations of brown adipose tissue metabolism during hibernation in the thirteen-lined ground squirrel, <i>Ictidomys tridecemlineatus</i>.
… is known about its functional regulation during hibernation. BAT metabolism is activated by sympathetic stimulation, so I hypothesized that further regulation at the mitochondrial level, as seen in other hibernator tissues, would be of little advantage. Contrary to my predictions, respiration …

A Bear's Eye View: Insight on American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) Hibernation and Foraging Ecology in Virginia's Central Appalachian Mountains
… of bears. While some aspects of black bear hibernation and foraging ecology have been studied, there remain knowledge gaps on key aspects of black bear biology. Hibernation behavior, for example, is understudied with most knowledge stemming from post-hibernation emergence studies. We used a …

Thermoenergetics of Indiana Bats
… the effects of climate and microclimate on the hibernation of this species have come into focus. As hibernacula temperatures in several caves have increased, the metabolic rate of hibernating bats should increase, resulting in faster utilization of the bats' stored energy reserves; bats use more …
