Arctic ground squirrels are obligate seasonal hibernators found in the arctic tundra of North America and Siberia. In biomedical research, AGS is an ideal rodent model to understand thermoregulation and the natural entrance and arousal from torpor. However, unlike other laboratory rodents, we know very little about their behavioral responses to typical laboratory stressors, making standardization of research difficult across laboratories.
