Researcher studies link between genes, climate and hibernation

Summary

Over the past three years, a CSU professor working with Pennsylvania State University researchers to discover reasons behind hibernation patterns in small mammals found a possible link to climate change. After years of small mammal hibernation research at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, CS
