The Influence of Environment, Sex, and Innate Timing Mechanisms on Body Temperature Patterns of Free‐Ranging Black‐Tailed Prairie Dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus)

Mechanisms that influence body temperature patterns in black‐tailed prairie dogs are not well understood. Previous research on both free‐ranging and laboratory populations of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) has suggested that reductions in ambient temperature and food and water depr...
