Abstract:
:Many small mammals display daily torpor to minimize energy expenditure during the rest phase when faced with unfavorable environmental conditions. However, given a choice of thermal environments, it is not clear whether these daily heterotherms select ambient temperatures that minimize metabolic rates during torpor or ambient temperatures that minimize metabolic rates during normothermia. It is also not clear whether they prefer being normothermic or torpid. In this study, we investigated temperature selection, activity patterns, body temperature patterns, and the use of torpor in Sminthopsis macroura in a thermal gradient when food was freely available or restricted. Animals employed torpor regularly immediately after cessation of activity even when excess food was provided. Nevertheless, they selected high ambient temperature near the zone of thermoneutrality during both normothermia and torpor. Reduced food supply did not affect either temperature preference or total activity, but it did result in significantly prolonged torpor bouts. In addition, it lowered the daily minimum body temperature during torpor by about 2 degrees C. Our study shows that S. macroura selected a high ambient temperature to reduce energy costs during normothermia. Nevertheless, daily torpor was frequently employed at the high temperature, especially when food was restricted.
