dc.description.abstractwe measured basal metabolic rate, thermal conductance, body temperature, and temperature differential of three populations of the Sigmodontine-rodent Abrothrix andinus in three different habitats of the Andean range of northern Chile. Individuals from the three habitats were good thermoregulators, were capable of maintaining a high mass-independent temperature differential, and were able to survive the cold ambient temperatures during the night. We compared our data with:previously published information on seasonal energetics of another population of A. andinus in the Andean range of central Chile and with species of the genus Abrothrix in a Mediterranean climate. Energetics of Abrothrix did not vary in response to different climatic conditions, which favored the hypothesis that it was a fixed character probably reflecting a common ancestor of Andean origin or radiation along the Andes Mountains.
