From: Polymorphism of winter phenotype in Siberian hamster: consecutive litters do not differ in photoresponsiveness but prolonged acclimation to long photoperiod inhibits winter molt

Fig. 3

Changes in body mass in representative white individual using torpor (top panel), grey individual not using torpor (middle panel) and individual using torpor and molt to white fur later than after 20 weeks under short photoperiod (SP) (bottom panel). White individuals using torpor were transferred to LP after BMR measurements in SP, and there are no data points afterward. Hatched bars indicate time of BMR measurements. M – stage 3 of molting; T – first episode of torpor
