Torpor is an incredible strategy that continues to blow my mind🤯. Animals in torpor allow their body temperature to drop, slowing their metabolism and saving energy. In this composite thermal image of a blue-throated mountain-gem: left- asleep, right- torpor. 1/5

And this is the same bird later at night in deep torpor- it's practically invisible in the thermal camera because it's almost the same temperature as the outside air! The bird is also barely breathing- I promise this is a video, same speed as the previous! 😃4/5

This is really cool, because it means birds, and not just mammals, under natural temperatures, can fine-tune their body temperatures in torpor. Really makes me wonder what's going on inside them that allows so much flexibility 🤔. This is a sleeping black-chinned hummingbird: 3/5

In our paper on #hummingbird heterothermy in @J_Exp_Biol , we show that hummingbirds are capable of a range of body temperatures in torpor. Not just normal sleep (temp ~110F / 40C) and deep torpor (~50F / 10C), but an in-between state we call shallow torpor (~80F / 26C). 2/5

If you aspire to have a career in conservation or wildlife, imagine that your career is a tree. Your career tree is rooted in your love for nature and your early internships and volunteering experiences may form the solid trunk. @nushiamme 1/3

Question for you, what is the range of body temperatures a hummingbird can go to and still survive? Once you take the poll, head over to the link below to find out! Thank you @_klburke and @AmSciMag for covering our hummingbird heterothermy study!

Data from @Lampornis , Bret Tobalske, & Noemi Camacho was instrumental in figuring out how the nest's insulation contributes to female energetic costs in using/avoiding torpor.

@GreenGirrl So far, passerines don't seem to be able to use deep torpor (i.e. more than 20°C body temperature drop). Some species- like chickadees and pigeons and drop their temperature in the range of 6-12°C to use more shallow torpor though! I'm not sure if warbler torpor has been studied!

Some of my hummingbird research and its future potential was covered in a Finnish tech magazine! @TM_testaa by Johanna Juntunen @CornellBirds @SpaceWorksSEI @SpaceX

Ihminen voisi oppia kolibreilta paljon, kuten taidon vaipua horrokseen pitkien avaruusmatkojen...

Kolibreilla on ainutlaatuisia ominaisuuksia, kuten kyky vaipua tahdonalaiseen horrokseen. Niiden salaisuuksien selvittäminen voi mullistaa robotiikkaa, lääketiedettä ja avaruusmatkailua.

#SICB2018 Do hamsters get heat stressed when they have many babies? Do #hummingbirds (look cool in IR and) use shallow torpor? Come to the Nob Hill C-D, 10:15-12 for answers to many #endotherm #thermobiology questions (cos endotherms are cool too!).
