Thermal, metabolic, hygric and ventilatory physiology of the sandhill dunnart (Sminthopsis psammophila; Marsupialia, Dasyuridae)

We present here the first physiological data for the sandhill dunnart (Sminthopsis psammophila), the second largest (35–44 g) sminthopsine dasyurid marsupial, and report torpor for this species. Their thermoneutral body temperature (34.4 °C), thermolability below thermoneutrality (0.062 °C °C− 1), a...
