Open full text 16 citations

Abstract

Body temperature (TB) were measured in five species of insectivorous mammals, Sorex minurus, Sorex caecutiens, Sorex araneus, Neomys anomalus and Neomys fodiens. Mean Tof shrews ranged from 37.3 to 39.1°C varying with species but more so with the age of animals and season when measurements were made. Zmierzono temperaturę ciała u pięciu gatunków drobnych ssaków owadożernych: Sorex minurus, S. caecutiens, S. araneus, Neomys anomalus, N. fodiens; łowionych w różnych porach roku (Tabela 1). Średnia wartość temperatury ciała waha się od 37,3 do 39,1°C - zależnie od gatunku a przede wszystkim od wieku zwierzęcia i sezonu jego złowienia (Tabela 2).
