Seasonal Patterns of Body Temperature Daily Rhythms in Group-Living Cape Ground Squirrels Xerus inauris

Organisms respond to cyclical environmental conditions by entraining their endogenous biological rhythms. Suchphysiological responses are expected to be substantial for species inhabiting arid environments which incur large variationsin daily and seasonal ambient temperature (Ta). We measured core b...
