    • Energy metabolism and thermoregulation in Chinchilla brevicaudata 
      Cortés, Arturo; Tirado, Carlos; Rosenmann, Mario (Elsevier Ltd, 2003)
      Chinchilla brevicaudata lives at 3500-5000 m, with high ambient temperatures during the day but cold at night. In this Andean habitat there is also low availability of food and water resources. Physiological attributes ...
    • Inter-population variation in hoarding behaviour in degus, octodon degus 
      Quispe, René; Villavicencio, Camila P.; Cortés, Arturo; Vásquez Salfate, Rodrigo (2009)
      Although foraging comprises a set of behaviours that typically vary with resource availability and.or climatic conditions, few studies have analysed how foraging, particularly food hoarding, varies across populations ...
    • Phenotypic flexibility in basal metabolic rate is associated with rainfall variability among populations ... 
      Maldonado, Karin; Bozinovic, Francisco; Cavieres, Grisel; Fuentes, Carolina A.; Cortés, Arturo; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo (2012)
      Phenotypic flexibility in metabolic rates allows organisms to reversibly adjust their energy flow to meet challenges imposed by a variable environment. In turn, the food habits hypothesis (FHH) predicts that species or ...
