DOIAbstract
<p>Core body temperature (T<sub>b</sub>) course over three winters (inside a sealed hibernaculum) and two summer seasons in an adult marmot studied in its natural habitat as an example for T<sub>b</sub> parameters and periods analyzed. Small black circles: T<sub>b</sub> of summer active animal. Small grey circles: T<sub>b</sub> during hibernation. Black squares: minimum T<sub>b</sub> reached during a torpor bout. Large open circles: T<sub>b</sub> during periods of winter euthermy defined as time between the end of continuous increase of T<sub>b</sub> during rewarming and the onset of continuous decline of T<sub>b</sub> into the next torpor bout (see inset for a magnified plot of a euthermy interval).</p
