متن کاملFasting Biochemistry of Representative Spontaneous and Facultative Hibernators : The White-Tailed Prairie Dog and the Black-Tailed Prairie Dog
The white-tailed prairie dog is a spontaneous hibernator that enters an anorexic state followed by torpor in early fall. The black-tailed prairie dog is a facultative hibernator that enters torpor only when deprived offood and water in the winter. The physiological state of hibernation is similar to a Phase II euthermic fast characterized by elevated fat catabolism, increased blood ketone bodie...
متن کاملAttributes of Black-Tailed Prairie Dog Colonies in Northcentral Montana
We examined several characteristics of black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) colonies in Phillips County, Montana, including slope, aspect, soils, land tenure, and distance from roads using a geographic information system (GIs). Colonies exhibited significantly smaller slopes, but not significantly different aspects than did randomly located polygons. In addition, colonies were more p...
