Functional relationship between peripheral thermosensation and behavioral thermoregulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural CircuitsThermoregulation is a fundamental mechanism for maintaining homeostasis in living organisms because temperature affects essentially all biochemical and physiological processes. Effector responses to internal and external temperature cues are critical for

Physiological and Behavioral Mechanisms of Thermoregulation in Mammals [PDF]
Animals, 2021 This review analyzes the main anatomical structures and neural pathways that allow the generation of autonomous and behavioral mechanisms that regulate body heat in mammals.

Modeling behavioral thermoregulation in a climate change sentinel [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2015 AbstractWhen possible, many species will shift in elevation or latitude in response to rising temperatures. However, before such shifts occur, individuals will first tolerate environmental change and then modify their behavior to maintain heat balance.

Effects of temperature on physiological performance and behavioral thermoregulation in an invasive fish, the round goby [PDF]
J Exp Biol, 2020 Invasive species exert negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems on a global scale, which may be enhanced in the future by climate change. Knowledge of how invasive species respond physiologically and behaviorally to novel and changing environments

Linking behavioral thermoregulation, boldness, and individual state in male Carpetan rock lizards [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Mechanisms affecting consistent interindividual behavioral variation (i.e., animal personality) are of wide scientific interest. In poikilotherms, ambient temperature is one of the most important environmental factors with a direct link to a variety of ...

Behavioral adjustments and support use of François' langur in limestone habitat in Fusui, China: Implications for behavioral thermoregulation [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 Climatic factors such as temperature and humidity vary seasonally in primate habitats; thus, behavioral adjustments and microhabitat selection by primate species have been interpreted as behavioral adaptations. François' langur (Trachypithecus francoisi),

Vertebrate behavioral thermoregulation: knowledge and future directions [PDF]
NeurophotonicsThermoregulation is critical for survival across species. In animals, the nervous system detects external and internal temperatures, integrates this information with internal states, and ultimately forms a decision on appropriate thermoregulatory actions.

The link between autonomic and behavioral thermoregulation [PDF]
Temperature, 2016 The human thermoregulatory apparatus has both autonomic and behavioral mechanisms at its disposal. Behavioral mechanisms include changing of clothes, moving to warmer/cooler/shaded areas and changing the environment by operating windows or the thermostat.

Behavioral thermoregulation in Locusta migratoria manilensis (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in response to the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Insects such as locusts and grasshoppers can reduce the effectiveness of pathogens and parasites by adopting different defense strategies. We investigated the behavioral thermopreference of Locusta migratoria manilensis (Meyen) (Orthoptera: Acrididae ...

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
