New publication on how piglets are able to maintain a stable body temperature
New research on wild boar piglets published supporting the idea that heat production in muscle (without shivering) may have played an important role in the evolution of endothermy. See: https://rdcu.be/byjeC Press article from the Vetmed Vienna can be found here.
