Heat production (.ovrhdot.VO2) of 2 diurnal rodents, Rhabdomys pumilio and Lemniscomys griselda, was measured in long scotophase -LS (8L:16D; 25.degree. C) acclimated and long scotophase and cold.sbd.LSAC (8L:16D; 6.degree. C) acclimated animals and compared to a control group (12L:12D; 25.degree. C). LS increased .ovrhdot.VO2 in both species. Further acclimation to LSAC increased .ovrhdot.VO2 in R. pumilio and decreased .ovrhdot.VO2 in L. griselda. LS increased body temperature (Tb) in L. griselda only. LS increased overall thermal conductance in both species. LSAC caused a further increase in this parameter in R. pumilio. A significant (P < 0.001) increase in the magnitude of maximal nonshivering thermogenesis (NST) was observed in both species due to LS acclimation. LSAC did not change this maximal NST but increased its obligatory part (minimal .ovrhdot.VO2, P < 0.05, in L. griselda, and P < 0.001, in R. pumilio). Winter acclimatization of heat production mechanisms, in both species, may be due to extension of scotophase.
