Book Description
The bibliography consists of over 2,100 references directly impinging upon natural mammalian hibernation, including a few references to birds and potential hibernators. A cross-referenced subject matter index makes it possible to locate with relative ease articles dealing with specific features of hibernation. The material was assembled over a number of years by detailed examination of library holdings, review literature, abstracting journals, The Zoological Record, B.A.S.I.C., and individual journals, and with the cooperation of fellow researchers in the field of natural mammalian hibernation. The assembled references were checked for their applicability for inclusion in this bibliography, alphabetized by author, and numbered for cross reference indexing. The parameters of the initial charge for making this bibliography have eliminated references to poikilothermous animals and most references to hypothermia, and have been the guidelines used to reduce some 7,000 references to the approximately one-third which finally comprise this bibliography.

Book Description
Hibernation and Torpor in Mammals and Birds explores the physiological factors that control hibernation and torpor in birds and mammals. This text covers topics ranging from metabolism in hibernation to the role of endocrines, respiration and acid-base state in hibernation, and theories of hibernation. This book is comprised of 14 chapters and begins with an overview of some clear-cut definitions and why mammals and birds hibernate. The reader is then introduced to the variations from euthermia that have been observed among birds and mammals. To give some structure to this listing, the approach is phylogenetic, starting with the birds and proceeding through the primitive to the more advanced mammals. Subsequent chapters explains the process of entering hibernation and the hibernating state, itself; capability of a species in natural hibernation to arouse from that state using self-generated heat; physiological changes at the start of a spontaneous arousal; and physiological mechanisms underlying the ability of hibernators to rewarm. Consideration is also given to intermediary metabolism in hibernation, cold adaptation of metabolism in hibernators, and the response of hibernators to various extrinsic influences such as neoplastic growth, radiation injury, and parasitism and symbionts. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in fields ranging from zoology to physiology and biophysics.
