| has gloss | eng: Daily Torpor, sometimes called temporary hibernation is a (usually short-term) state of decreased physiological activity in an animal, usually characterized by a reduced body temperature and rate of metabolism. Animals that go through torpor include birds (even tiny hummingbirds, notably Cypselomorphae) and some mammals such as mice, and bats. During the active part of their day, animals that undergo daily torpor maintain normal body temperature and activity levels, but their temperature drops during a portion of the day (usually night) to conserve energy. Torpor is often used to help animals survive during periods of colder temperatures, as it allows the organism to save the amount of energy that would normally be used to maintain a high body temperature. |

| has gloss | deu: Unter dem Torpor (lat. Erstarrung, Betäubung) versteht man einen physiologischen Schlafzustand, der bei einigen kleineren Säugetieren und Vögeln, also bei homoiothermen oder endothermen Tieren vorkommt und der einer Lethargie vergleichbar ist, bei dem Stoffwechsel- und Energieumsatzprozesse auf ein Minimum gesenkt werden und alle Körperfunktionen gleichsam auf Sparflamme gehalten werden. Die betroffenen Tiere sind vollkommen inaktiv und verharren in einem Zustand der körperlichen Starre. Reaktionen auf Außenreize finden in diesem Zustand kaum statt. Der Torpor dient den Tieren vor allem dazu, längere Zeiten des Nahrungsmangels oder Wassermangels zu überstehen, sie können so einige Tage bis mehrere Wochen ohne Nahrungs- und Flüssigkeitsaufnahme überleben. |

| has gloss | fra: La léthargie est une forme de vie ralentie (hibernation, estivation) qui permet à certains animaux (invertébrés et vertébrés) de surmonter des conditions ambiantes défavorables. Les animaux en léthargie ont des fonctions vitales extrêmement réduites (la température du corps baisse, les battements cardiaques et les mouvements respiratoires deviennent moins fréquents). Toutefois une certaine quantité dénergie est nécessaire à lanimal pour accomplir ses fonctions vitales, même si elles sont réduites au minimum. Pour cela, avant de tomber en léthargie, il accumule des réserves de graisses et de sucres destinées à être métabolisées au cours de cette période. La léthargie, généralement périodique, correspond aux températures estivales maximales (estivation), ou aux températures hivernales minimales (hibernation). Il y a aussi des cas de léthargie non périodique, qui se produisent occasionnellement pour surmonter des difficultés ambiantes particulières. |

| has gloss | pol: Torpor – stan kontrolowanego obniżenia temperatury ciała, przez zwierzęta stałocieplne. Wraz z obniżeniem temperatury ciała, spowalniana jest praca serca oraz większość innych czynności fizjologicznych. Mianem torporu określa się zazwyczaj krótkotrwałe okresy obniżenia temperatury ciała, trwające od kilku godzin do kilku dni. |

| has gloss | slv: Torpor je kratkotrajno stanje znižane metabolne aktivnosti pri toplokrvnih živalih. Je prilagoditev majhnih živali na dnevno-nočni cikel nihanja temperature zraka. Majhne toplokrvne živali, kot so mali sesalci in nekateri ptiči (predvsem kolibriji) ne morejo ustvariti dovolj energijskih zalog, da bi bile sposobne vzdrževati visoko telesno temperaturo ponoči, ko niso fizično aktivne. Zato znižajo stopnjo metabolizma, posledica česar je znižanje telesne temperature. Pri kolibriju vrste Selasphorus rufus je lahko razlika med dnevno in nočno telesno temperaturo tudi 27ºC (40ºC podnevi in 13ºC ponoči, kadar je zunaj dovolj hladno). Ob »prebujanju« iz torporja žival s procesom termogeneze generira toploto in ponovno zviša telesno temperaturo na normalno vrednost. |

| has gloss | tur: Uyuşukluk, bir hayvanda azaltılan fizyolojik faaliyetin bir durumudur, genellikle azaltılan bir vücut sıcaklığı ve metabolizmanın oranı olarak tanımlanır. Uyuşukluk içine giren hayvanlara sinek kuşları gibi küçük kuşlar, yarasalar gibi bazı küçük memeliler de dahildir. Gününün aktif geçen parçasında bu hayvanlar normal vücut sıcaklığı ve faaliyet düzeylerini sürdürürler ama günün bir kısmı esnasında (genellikle gece) vücut sıcaklığı enerjiyi korumak için düşürülür. Uyuşukluk durumu, çoğunlukla soğuk bir iklimde yaşamak için hayvanlara yardımcıdır. Tamias cinsi sincaplar, sıçrayan fareler , dağ sıçanı gibi bazı hayvanlarda kış süresince kış uykusunun bu durumuna girerler. Akciğerli balıklarda havuz dışında uyuşukluk durumuna girerler. Tenrekler ise uyuşukluk durumuna yaz esnasında eğer yiyecek seyrekse girerler (Madagaskar'da). Siyah ayılar, çoğunlukla kış uykusuna yatmasına rağmen gerçekten uyuşukluk durumuna girmezler. Onların vücut sıcaklıkları, solunum ve kalp atışıyla beraber düşürürken, uyuşukluk durumunda hayvanların çoğu gibi siyah ayılarda vücut sıcaklığını azaltmazlar. |

| has gloss | ukr: Торпор — специфічний стан організму теплокровних тварин, який характеризується регульованим зниженням температури тіла та уповільненням метаболізму, що підтримується протягом від кількох до кількох десятків годин. Тварини, що впадають у торпор (колібрі, серпокрильці, дрібні ссавці як то кажани) протягом частини доби активні та підтримують нормальну температуру тіла, але протягом іншої частини (звичайно вночі) їхня температура знижується для запобігання надлишкових витрат енергії. |
