Knowledge graph centered on hibernation-ageing hypothesis with 30 nodes and 107 connections. Top connected: Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, Gothic, Marmota, Marmota flaviventris, Callospermophilus lateralis.

Definition

The hypothesis that ageing is suspended during hibernation, whereby species engaging in torpor periodically suspend ageing and thus live longer than predicted based on body size alone
