Abstract: Reduced energy expenditure resulting from huddling in small mammals is mainly attributed to the reduced surface area/volume ratio of the huddling group. Authors propose a model to account for the reduction of the relative exposed area of grouped animals anf for the diminution of metabolic rate during huddling. Authors attempt to expain mechanistically how changes in energy savings may operate. Authors applied model to results obtained by grouping deformable bodies, and also laboratory measurements of oxygen consumption on huddling small mammals... (read more)

Topic-specific impact indicators

Popularity:
This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network.
Influence:
This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Citation Count:
This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Impulse:
This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network.
