Autonomous animal heating and cooling system for temperature-regulated MR experiments [PDF]
Temperature is a hallmark parameter influencing almost all magnetic resonance properties (e.g., T\textsubscript{1}, T\textsubscript{2}, proton density, diffusion and more). In the pre-clinical setting, temperature has a large influence on animal physiology (e.g., respiration rate, heart rate, metabolism, cellular stress, and more) and needs to be ...

The link between autonomic and behavioral thermoregulation
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.

Neural Code for Ambient Heat Detection in Elaterid Beetles
Environmental thermal conditions play a major role at all levels of biological organization; however, there is little information on noxious high temperature sensation crucial in behavioral thermoregulation and survival of small ectothermic animals such ...

American coot collective on-water dynamics [PDF]
American coot (Fulica americana) flocks exhibit water surface (two-dimensional) collective dynamics that oscillate between two primary phases: a disordered phase of low density and non-uniform coot body orientations; a synchronized phase characterized by high density, uniform body orientations and speed.

Vertical movement patterns of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, as revealed with archival tags [PDF]
Thirty-three skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) (53−73 cm fork length) were caught and released with implanted archival tags in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean during April 2004.

A snake of a different color: physiological color change in Arizona black rattlesnakes [PDF]
Coloration may serve a variety of behavioral (e.g., crypsis, communication) and physiological (e.g., thermoregulation, protection) functions for terrestrial ectotherms. However, optimal coloration for a given function may vary over environments (spatial

Body temperatures of modern and extinct vertebrates from ^(13)C-^(18)O bond abundances in bioapatite [PDF]
The stable isotope compositions of biologically precipitated apatite in bone, teeth, and scales are widely used to obtain information on the diet, behavior, and physiology of extinct organisms and to reconstruct past climate.
