Rewarming rates of two large hibernators: Comparison of a monotreme and a eutherian (2009)
Nicol, SC, Andersen, NA, Arnold, W, Ruf, T
We measured body temperatures in two large hibernating mammals, the eutherian alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) and the egg-laying echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) from unrestrained animals in their...

Rewarming rates and thermogenesis in hibernating echidnas (2008)
We measured body temperatures (Tb) in 14 free-ranging echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus) using implanted data-loggers. An average of 1020 +/- 744 days of Tb data was recorded from each animal. The...

Echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus) are amongst the largest deep hibernators, but it is difficult to get them to hibernate normally under laboratory conditions. We measured body temperature (Tb) in 14...
The life history of an egg-laying mammal, the echidna (2007)
Echidnas have a low metabolic rate, and energy expenditure is reduced even further by the use of torpor and hibernation. Thus echidnas appear to lie at the slow extreme of the fast-slow continuum,...

Body temperature as an indicator of egg-laying in the echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus (2006)
We investigated the usefulness of body temperature (Tb) as a guide to egg-laying in a monotreme mammal, the echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus, and attempted to quantify changes in Tb and relate them to...

Nicol, SC, Andersen, NA, Jones, SM
We measured the reproductive steroids testosterone and progesterone in free-ranging adult echidnas over several years. For months other than June - August the mean progesterone concentration was 0.18...
Latrine use by the short-beaked echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus (2005)
Sprent, JA, Andersen, NA, Nicol, SC
In mammals the basic functions of defaecation and urination have an inherent secondary function of chemical communication (Eisenberg 1981), and mammals have evolved a variety of behaviours based on...

The timing of hibernation in Tasmanian echidnas: why do they do it when they do? (2002)
We investigated the patterns of hibernation and arousals in seven free-ranging echidnas Tachyglossus aculeatus setosus (two male, five female) in Tasmania using implanted temperature data loggers....

The echidna manifests typical characteristics of rapid eye movement sleep (2000)
Nicol, SC, Andersen, NA, Phillips, NH, Berger, RJ
The failure to identify rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) in an early study of the echidna at an unmeasured ambient temperature (T(a)) was unexpected, as its brain stem structures resemble those that...
