Which outcome occurs when a hibernating marmot prematurely enters a warm microclimate?

💡 Explanation

When exposed to warmer temperatures, peripheral vasodilation occurs because the marmot aims to dissipate stored heat via increased blood flow to the skin, reducing its metabolic suppression rate. Therefore, rapid vasodilation results, rather than shivering/brown fat (heat production) or respiration changes (water conservation).
