...Anna S. Przybylska-Piech; Małgorzata Jefimow ABSTRACT Nonresponding Siberian hamsters ( Phodopus sungorus ) do not develop the winter phenotype of white fur, low body mass ( M b ) and spontaneous torpor in response to short photoperiod. However, their thermoregulatory response to fasting remains...
