Tools of Hibernation Measurement and Interpretation (TOHMIN) for quantifying various values from body temperature fluctuation during hibernation

Reo Otsuka, Yutaro Shimoyama, Satoshi Nakagawa, Takaoki Kasahara, James F. Staples, Lydia K. Greene, Marina B. Blanco, Yoshifumi Yamaguchi

TOHMIN quantifies hibernation patterns from body temperature data, revealing diet and sex effects on arousal duration and pre-hibernation period.

Conservation genomic analysis reveals ancient introgression and declining levels of genetic diversity in Madagascar’s hibernating dwarf lemurs

Rachel C. Williams, Marina B. Blanco, Jelmer W. Poelstra, Kelsie E. Hunnicutt, Aaron A. Comeault, Anne D. Yoder

This study uses comparative genomics to analyze genetic diversity and introgression in dwarf lemurs, finding low diversity and signs of ancient admixture linked to hibernation-related genes.
