Letters O through Mrepresent the month of serum collection. Vertical lines represent transitions betweenactive and hibernating seasons. (A) Serum calcium levels are represented by a line foreach bear. (B) Single smoothed curve represents the average of all 4 bears. Arrowsindicate the dates at which “peak-valley” means were analyzed. (C) Each total serumcalcium concentration was normalized to the average total serum calcium concentrationfor the appropriate bear for better comparison of seasonal fold changes.41
