“Emotional” Bradycardia: A Telemetry Study on Incubating Willow Grouse ( Lagopus lagopus)
Although heart rate in most species reflects the metabolic state of the animal, emotional stimuli may act as strong modifying agents. This has been experienced by arctic explorers challenged by polar bears (Nansen 1898) and by TV‐watchers during exciting shows. It is also noticed in animals under a...
