Physiological and Biochemical Zoology Call for Papers
1
PBZ is soliciting manuscripts for review on the topic of hibernation and daily torpor for a Focused Collection of manuscripts. Papers on other forms of dormancy (estivation, diapause, overwintering, etc.) are included. We welcome papers that provide an evolutionary and ecological context to comparative physiology, and especially those that integrate field and lab studies. We are interested in research at molecular through organismal and behavioral levels, at all life stages. Topics of interest for the Focused Collection include, but are not limited to: • Review papers providing a broad context for an understanding of hibernation and daily torpor in comparative physiology (feel free to contact the Editor in Chief for guidance) • Technical Comments on procedures for lab or field studies of hibernation and/or daily torpor in lab-raised or wild populations • Education and Outreach papers with models for the study of hibernation and/or daily torpor in K-12 or college education, especially describing scalable classroom exercises or experiments • Brief Communications • Comments on Published Papers presenting new ideas or alternative interpretations based on published PBZ papers on hibernation and/or daily torpor • Research papers addressing appropriate topics. For example: The costs and/or benefits of hibernation and/or daily torpor; Uses of hibernation in wildlife management; Investigations of mechanisms mediating individual variation in daily torpor in populations; Impact of climate change or human activity on the timing or frequency of hibernation and/or daily torpor, etc. Submit papers to www.edmgr.com/pbz/ Submitted manuscripts should be of interest to the broad general readership of PBZ and clearly state the broader scientific relevance and implications of the work. Hypotheses should be clearly presented. Purely descriptive studies generally are not appropriate. All papers are subject to double-blind peer review.

PBZ is soliciting manuscripts for review on the topic of hibernation and daily torpor for a Focused Collection of manuscripts. Papers on other forms of dormancy (estivation, diapause, overwintering, etc.) are included. We welcome papers that provide an evolutionary and ecological context to comparative physiology, and especially those that integrate field and lab studies. We are interested in research at molecular through organismal and behavioral levels, at all life stages.
Topics of interest for the Focused Collection include, but are not limited to:
• Review papers providing a broad context for an understanding of hibernation anddaily torpor in comparative physiology (feel free to contact the Editor in Chief forguidance)• Technical Comments on procedures for lab or field studies of hibernation and/ordaily torpor in lab-raised or wild populations• Education and Outreach papers with models for the study of hibernation and/ordaily torpor in K-12 or college education, especially describing scalable classroomexercises or experiments• Brief Communications• Comments on Published Papers presenting new ideas or alternativeinterpretations based on published PBZ papers on hibernation and/or daily torpor• Research papers addressing appropriate topics. For example: The costs and/orbenefits of hibernation and/or daily torpor; Uses of hibernation in wildlifemanagement; Investigations of mechanisms mediating individual variation in dailytorpor in populations; Impact of climate change or human activity on the timing orfrequency of hibernation and/or daily torpor, etc.

Submitted manuscripts should be of interest to the broad general readership of PBZ and clearly state the broader scientific relevance and implications of the work. Hypotheses should be clearly presented. Purely descriptive studies generally are not appropriate. All papers are subject to double-blind peer review.
