A heterothermic spectrum in hummingbirds
Many small endotherms use torpor, saving energy by a controlled reduction of their body temperature and metabolic rate. Some species (e.g. arctic ground squirrels, hummingbirds) enter deep torpor, dropping their body temperatures by 23-37 &[deg]C, while others can only enter shallow torpor (e.g....
