The 13 pages that link to Brumation, each with the reason it gives.

• HibernationCompared with: The term commonly describes reptile dormancy, which differs physiologically from mammalian hibernation.

• TorporCompared with: It is a cold-season dormancy in ectotherms, whose body temperature tracks environmental temperature.

• PoikilothermyBroader topic: Seasonal inactivity can accompany pronounced temperature variation in reptiles.

• HerpetocultureRelated: Some breeding programs use seasonal cooling to reproduce natural annual cycles.

• Reptile husbandryRelated: Seasonal temperature changes can trigger brumation in some species, though it requires careful management.

• AestivationCompared with: Brumation describes cold-season inactivity in many reptiles and amphibians, unlike hot-season aestivation.

• Garter snakeRelated: Cold-climate garter snakes spend winter inactive, often gathered in communal dens.

• Common snapping turtleRelated: Snapping turtles become inactive through much of the cold season, often underwater or buried in mud.

• Chinese alligatorRelated: Its winter dormancy shapes the alligator’s annual activity cycle.

• Gila monsterRelated: Seasonal inactivity helps the lizard conserve energy when temperatures fall.

• Painted turtleRelated: Painted turtles overwinter underwater, relying on low metabolism and tolerance of oxygen shortage.

• PoikilothermBroader topic: It is a seasonal response to temperatures that poikilotherms cannot hold constant.

• Grass snakeRelated: Cold Eurasian winters constrain activity and lead grass snakes to overwinter in shelter.
