#Torpor was a state of decreased physiological activity in an animal, usually marked by a reduced body temperature and metabolic rate. Torpor enabled animals to survive periods of reduced food availability.

Bone loss. Radiation. Madness. The trip to Mars kills you. 🚀💀 We expose the #Torpor solution: how mimicking Black Bears and using #Xenon gas allows astronauts to sleep for 400 days. Can we hibernate our way to the Red Planet? #TechTakedown.

Overall, these results suggest the existence of several genetic paths towards the #evolution of #torpor in placental #mammals. 🧵4/4

These revealed a low explanatory power of individual protein-coding #genes for evolutionary shifts in #torpor. In contrast, there is relatively stronger evidence for evolutionary convergence at the level of #pathways. 🧵3/4

To this day, it is not clear whether such evolutionary shifts in torpor occur through similar genetic paths or if lineages can reach #torpor in different ways. To answer this question, we performed several screens across 190 #genomes of placental #mammals. 🧵2/4

Did the butterflies die? Was it torpor? Conspiracies fly more than the butterflies did. Blaming the producers is the only reasonable option. Ms Asia O'Hara, keep on flying.

Warm Lemur Hibernation Offers Clues for Human Space Travel
The fat‑tailed dwarf lemur can hibernate for up to seven months, with lab temps from 53 °F to 89 °F. Researchers study this to inform human space‑flight hibernation. Read more: getnews.me/warm-lemur-hibernation-o... #lemur #spaceflight #torpor

Have you noticed the Gen Z stare, when they seem to be in a torpor leaving you to wonder when they’ll start speaking? The word stare comes from Old English starian “to gaze, stare”, from Proto-Germanic *staren, ultimately traceable back to Proto-Indo-European *stor-e-, a suffixed o-grade form of the root *ster- “stiff”, so it’s the idea of “stiffness” that actually underlies the word. In this more basic sense, an extended zero-grade form of this root *trp-e- came into Latin as torpere “to be stiff, be numb, be inactive, be torpid” and torpor “numbness, stupefaction, torpor, sluggishness”, from which we get the English words torpor and torpid. From the notion of “moving briskly, moving stiffly”, another extended form *sterd- came into Old English as styrtan “to start, leap up” (only attested in Old English as a present participle in the Northumbrian dialect as sturtende) giving us Modern English start, with the original notion of “move or spring suddenly” expanding to “awaken suddenly or abruptly; flinch or recoil in alarm” by around 1300, and then by the 1660s to “cause to begin acting or operating”, and it’s only by the 1820s that we see the meaning “to begin to move, leave, or depart; enter upon action” as we have it today.
