38、quivalent of burying your head under the covers until spring comes isn't it? Not quite. Most of the physiological functions are extremely slowed down, says Marina Blanco, a postdoctoral associate at the Duke Lemur (狐猴) Center in Durham, North Carolina. For example, when lemurs hibernate, they re
39、duce their heart rates from over 300 beats per minute to fewer than six, says Blanco. And instead of breathing about every second, they can go up to 10 minutes without taking a breath. Their brain activity becomes undetectable. This is very different from sleep, which is gentle resting state where u

Put simply: Hibernation is a means of energy conservation, says Kelly Drew, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks who studies the brain chemistry of hibernating Arctic ground squirrels.While hibernation is often seen as a seasonal behav
41、ior, its not limited to cold-weather animals. There are tropical hibernators that may do so to beat the heat. And some species hibernate in response to food shortages, notes Drew. For example, echidnas ( 针 鼹 ) in Australia will hibernate after fires, waiting until food resources rebound to resume no
42、rmal activities. To slow their metabolism (新陈代谢), animals cool their bodies by 5 to 10 C on average. The Arctic ground squirrels Drew works on can take this much further, supercooling to subfreezing temperatures. Drews research has shown that cooling is likely regulated by levels of adenosine (腺苷) i
43、n the brain. Not only does adenosine increase in winter in ground squirrels, the receptors for the molecule become more sensitive to it. But species dont stay in their cold, sleeping state for the duration of their dormant period. About 80 percent of their energy is spent intermittently (间歇地) waking
44、 and warming up. Why they do this is one of the greatest mysteries of the field, says Thomas Ruf, a professor of animal physiology at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna. Some think they need to turn back on their immune systems to fight disease, while others think they may simply awaken
45、 so they can sleep. One bird and a variety of amphibians(两栖动物), reptiles adn insects also exhibit hibernation- like states. There is even at least one fish the Antarctic cod that slows down its metabolism in winter, becoming 20 times less active. And, of course, there are lots of mammals. While bear
46、s might be the first that come to mind, most mammalian hibernators are on the smaller side. The average hibernator weighs only 70 grams, says Ruf. Thats because little bodies have high surface area to volume ratios, making it more taxing for them to stay warm in cold weather so they need the seasona

The latest survey by the Financial Times of what employers want from MBA graduates found that the ability to work in a team, to work with a wide variety of people and to build, maintain and expand a network of people were three of the top five skills that managers wanted. But managers always have to balance the merits of teamwork, which help ensure that everyone is working towards the same goal, with the dangers of groupthink, when some dont point out th
