Cover Story: Northern mammals withstand harsh winter conditions with profound seasonal acclimatization of physiology and behavior. We corroborated with an experimental study that red deer reduce energy expenditure during winter to about half of the summer level, accomplished to a large degree by tolerating a lower body temperature. The comprehensive change into a thrifty winter phenotype is mainly controlled by the photoperiod. The nutritional supply of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids had only weak modulating effects, in contrast to the expectations derived from studies of hibernators. View this paper
