Letters Othrough M represent the month of serum collection. Vertical lines represent transitionsbetween active and hibernating seasons. (A) Serum ionized calcium levels arerepresented by a line for each bear. (B) Single smoothed curve represents the averageof all 6 bears. Arrows indicate the dates at which “peak-valley” means were analyzed.(C) Each ionized calcium concentration was normalized to the average ionized calciumconcentration for the appropriate bear for better comparison of seasonal fold changes.42
