(15) Based on the fact that all hibernators, at their regulated minimal body temperature, display a uniform turnover rate, related to body weight, the hypothesis is developed that cold tolerance of mammals is generally limited by a common specific minimal metabolic rate, which larger organisms, because of their lower basal metabolism, already attain in less profound hypothermia.
(16) Based on morphological, virological, biochemical and molecular biological data, it is proposed that the presence of endogenous retrovirus particles in the placental cytotrophoblasts of many mammals is indicative of some beneficial action provided by the virus in relation to cell fusion, syncytiotrophoblast formation and the creation of the placenta.

Pinniped
Definition:
(n.) One of the Pinnipedia; a seal.
(n.) One of the Pinnipedes.
Example Sentences:
(1) Thus, our studies have demonstrated that the higher apparent molecular weight of pinniped (sea lion) apoE is due to a longer polypeptide chain as well as posttranslational modification of the protein.

(6) The structure of the ovaries resembled that of other pinnipeds.
(7) The most probable cause of this shark attack was mistaken identity from a learning behavioural stance as the individual begins to move onto larger prey items (pinnipeds and cetaceans) with inquisition taking over, but sadly resulting in a human fatality.
(8) The prevalence of Phagicola septentrionalis, the diphyllobothriids and the acanthocephala increased with increasing age of the pinniped host.
