Does season or captivity influence the physiology of an endangered marsupial, the numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus)?

We examined the effects of season and captivity on several commonly measured physiological variables (body temperature, metabolic rate, thermal conductance, and evaporative water loss [EWL]) for the numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus), an endangered myrmecophagous Australian marsupial, because the mainte...
