Big Is Beautiful: Fat Storage and Hibernation as a Strategy to Cope with Marked Seasonality in the Fat-tailed Dwarf Lemur ( Cheirogaleus medius ) (2006, background): “Although hibernation and daily torpor occur in nearly all mammalian orders and all over the world (Lyman et al., 1982; Carey et al., 2003; Heldmaier et al., 2004), among primates the occurrence of torpid states is so far only known in cheirogaleids.”
A unifying, eco‐physiological framework for animal dormancy (2020, background): “Within birds and mammals, heterothermy is ancestral, but hibernation and daily torpor are seen as derived phenomena that build on this ancestral capacity (van Breukelen & Martin, 2002; Carey et al., 2003; Lovegrove, 2017; Malan, 2014; Ruf & Geiser, 2015).”
