Cavieres, Grisel; Núñez Villegas, Mónica; Bozinovic, Francisco; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo (The Company of Biologists Ltd., 2017)We studied the putative effect of early life experience on the physiological flexibility of metabolic and osmoregulatory traits in the leaf-eared mouse, Phyllotis darwini, an altricial rodent inhabiting seasonal Mediterranean ...

Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo; Cavieres, Grisel; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Bozinovic, Francisco (2009)One of the most controversial hypotheses that associate basal metabolic rate (BMR) with food habits and habitat productivity is the food habit hypothesis (FHH). Here we examined the relationship between BMR, diet, and ...

Ramírez Otárola, Natalia; Maldonado, Karin; Cavieres, Grisel; Bozinovic, Francisco; Sabat, Pablo (Wiley, 2021)Environmental conditions experienced by developing animals have an impact on the development and maturity of the immune system. Specifically, the diet experienced during early development influences the maintenance and ...

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 ...

Maldonado, Karin Evelyn; Cavieres, Grisel; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo (2009)A large number of physiological acclimation studies assume that flexibility in a certain trait is both adaptive and functionally important for organisms in their natural environment; however, it is not clear how an organism's ...

Barceló, Gonzalo; Salinas, Jonathan; Cavieres, Grisel; Canals Lambarri, Mauricio; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo (2009)The obligatory cost of living for endotherms is measured by basal metabolic rate (BMR), a variable that is known to change after thermal acclimation. However, the relative timing between variation in ambient temperature ...

Bozinovic, Francisco; Medina, Nadia R.; Alruiz, José M.; Cavieres, Grisel; Sabat, Rodrigo (Springer, 2016)Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Most analyses of the impacts have focused on changes in mean temperature, but increasing variance will also impact organisms and populations. We assessed ...
