• TorporCompared with: It conserves resources during heat or drought, whereas torpor is defined by lowered metabolism and temperature.

• LungfishRelated: Some lungfish burrow into mud and aestivate when their habitats dry out.

• BrumationCompared with: It is a seasonal dormancy associated with heat or drought rather than cold.

• DiapauseRelated: Aestivation describes a seasonal survival state that can overlap with diapause.

• SlugRelated: Some slugs withdraw into sheltered sites and reduce activity when moisture is scarce.

• Butterfly migrationCompared with: Some butterflies avoid harsh seasons by becoming inactive rather than migrating.

• Cornu aspersumRelated: In dry weather, Cornu aspersum seals its shell opening to reduce water loss.

• SnailRelated: Some snails retreat into their shells and estivate during drought or heat.

• HelicidaeRelated: Helicids can seal themselves inside their shells and reduce water loss during dry periods.

• African bullfrogRelated: African bullfrogs aestivate underground through dry periods, sometimes within a cocoon formed from shed skin.

• Lissachatina fulicaRelated: Sealing itself inside its shell helps it survive drought and heat.

• African spurred tortoiseRelated: During harsh dry periods, reduced activity can limit heat and water stress.

• SirenidaeRelated: Some sirenids survive drying habitats by burrowing and becoming inactive.

• Sleep in animalsCompared with: It is an environmental survival state, not simply a daily sleep episode.

• Wood turtleRelated: Wood turtles may shelter in damp places during hot, dry weather.
