Thermal Drone Technology Used to Capture Thermoregulation in Wild Sumatran Elephants [PDF]
Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2023 Drone technology plays a critical role in supporting conservation efforts for endangered species, not only in terms of species monitoring within various landscapes, but also potentially when applied to behavioral studies to investigate interaction ...

Can newts cope with the heat? Disparate thermoregulatory strategies of two sympatric species in water. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Many ectotherms effectively reduce their exposure to low or high environmental temperatures using behavioral thermoregulation. In terrestrial ectotherms, thermoregulatory strategies range from accurate thermoregulation to thermoconformity according to ...

Behavioral thermoregulation by reptile embryos promotes hatching success and synchronization
Communications Biology, 2023 Reptile embryos can move inside eggs to seek optimal thermal conditions, falsifying the traditional assumption that embryos are simply passive occupants within their eggs.

Behavioral thermoregulation by turtle embryos [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Mobile ectothermic animals can control their body temperatures by selecting specific thermal conditions in the environment, but embryos—trapped within an immobile egg and lacking locomotor structures—have been assumed to lack that ability. Falsifying that assumption, our experimental studies show that even early stage turtle embryos move within the egg

Seasonal Variation in the Thermoregulation Pattern of an Insular Agamid Lizard
Animals, 2023 Ectotherms, including lizards, rely on behavioral thermoregulation to maintain their body temperature within an optimal range. The benign climate of islands is expected to favor the thermoregulation efficiency of reptiles throughout their activity period.

Current understanding on the neurophysiology of behavioral thermoregulation [PDF]
Temperature, 2015 Temperature influence on the physiology and biochemistry of living organisms has long been recognized, which propels research in the field of thermoregulation. With the cloning and characterization of the transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels as the principal temperature sensors of the mammalian somatosensory neurons, the understanding, at a ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Thermal extremes alter population processes, which can result in part from temperature-induced movement at different spatial and temporal scales. Thermal thresholds for animal movement likely change based on underlying thermal physiology and life-history
