how does the molting mechanism work in the winter coats of animals? Like what triggers molting? Does it happen in a lab setting or if the climate isn’t correct?
In: Biology
I think it has something to do with the day and night cycle and when the days get shorter or longer. Basically every animal produces a specific hormone when exposed to sunlight. If there is a lot of sunlight there is a lot of hormones. When the days get shorter they produces less of the hormone and if the hormone lvl falls below a certain treshold the animal switches “modes” until it gets more sunlight where it produces then more of the hormone again
