Comparative physiology

the hypothesis that hibernators adjust torpor depth and arousal frequency to balance energy savings against the costs of torpor, depending on energy reserves.

In comparative physiology, hibernation optimization hypothesis refers to the hypothesis that hibernators adjust torpor depth and arousal frequency to balance energy savings against the costs of torpor, depending on energy reserves. This meaning comes from Humphries (2003) in Physiological and Biochemical Zoology.[1]
