Coping With Environmental Fluctuations: Ecological and Evolutionary Perspectives
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
Torpor and Hibernation: Metabolic and Physiological Paradigms
Torpor or heterothermy corresponds to a state of depressed metabolism and is associated with specific metabolic, cellular and molecular adaptations that often occur on a seasonal basis. Yet the exact mechanisms and functioning of these changes are poorly understood. Interestingly, the potential of such extraordinary animal adaptation for human and animal health as well as other biomedical considerations has raised particular attention especially in the last decade. The strong metabolic and physiological adaptations of heterotherms can be of particular inspiration for current biomedical and pathological situations (e.g., obesity and related diseases, cardiovascular and metabolic dysfunctions, ischemia-reperfusion injuries, immune depression) and for the health and longevity of animal species, including humans.

Living in a Seasonal World
This book summarises the newest information on seasonal adaptation in animals. Topics include animal hibernation, daily torpor, thermoregulation, heat production, metabolic depression, biochemical adaptations, neurophysiology and energy balance. The contributors to this book present interdisciplinary research at multiple levels ranging from the molecular to the ecophysiological, as well as evolutionary approaches. The chapters of this book provide original data not published elsewhere, which makes it the most up-to-date, comprehensive source of information on these fields. The book’s subchapters correspond to presentations given at the 14th International Hibernation Symposium in August 2012 in Austria. This is a very successful series of symposia (held every four years since 1959) that attracts leading researchers in the field. Like the past symposia, this meeting – and consequently the book – is aimed not only at hibernation but at covering the full range of animal adaptations to seasonal environments. For the next four years, this book will serve as the cutting-edge reference work for graduate students and scientists active in this field of physiology and ecology. .
Eating Less is Making You Fat
In this seminal take on well-being and fitness, celebrity health coach and functional medicine expert Vijay Thakkar presents his trademarked four-step formula for weight loss. He builds on years of research and personal history to dispel misinformation about nutrition, calorie-deficit diets, metabolism and how hunger and satiety work. Backing his theories with science and data, Vijay traces the origins of diabetes and heart diseases, conditions that are gaining ground among the young and seemingly fit. He explains how stress, exercise and the quality of food impact hormones; simplifies the science behind low-carb diets and intermittent fasting; and offers sustainable methods to maintain optimal weight and lifelong health. While addressing common dietary and fitness queries, this groundbreaking manual also proposes easy-to-follow lifestyle tips, wholesome recipes and effective workouts to guide the reader through the fog surrounding weight management.
The Evolution of Endothermy - From Patterns to Mechanisms
Metabolic rate is a key ecophysiological factor determining fitness, distribution, survival and reproductive strategies of organisms. The ability to endogenously produce heat and elevate body temperature beyond ambient, has far reaching ecological implications. The diversity of thermogenic mechanisms and strategies employed throughout the animal kingdom is truly phenomenal and one of the greatest biological mysteries. Interestingly, even heat producing plants have been characterised. Over the last several decades, the oversimplified distinction between warm- and cold blooded animals has well and truly been put to rest and the terms “endo- and ectotherm” have been established. Birds and m...
