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. 4

Relationship between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and body mass in white and grey individuals and in individuals that molted to white after 20 weeks under short photoperiod. Top panel shows data recorded in long photoperiod prior transfer to short photoperiod, and bottom panel shows data recorded after 16 weeks in short photoperiod. Regression lines did not differ between groups in long photoperiod but did differ in short photoperiod (see text). BMR was measured at ~28.5 °C
