Detection Dogs Working in Hot Climates: The Influence on Thermoregulation and Fecal Consistency

Animals
Body temperature is an important physiological parameter that influences the performance of working dogs. The main cooling mechanism in dogs is panting to support evaporative cooling, which reduces the dog’s ability to detect scents.

Finding Mr. Right: Housing Quality Affects Male Mouse Attractiveness to Females, With Implications for Conservation Captive Breeding

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Housing quality affects male mouse attractiveness to females ABSTRACT Females generally prefer mates with traits indicating low stress (e.g., large size; good health). In captivity, stress from suboptimal housing might therefore reduce male attractiveness.

High nitrogen loading impacts the temperature‐size rule and heat tolerance in a nettle‐feeding butterfly

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host‐plant quality and ambient temperature are key environmental drivers of herbivorous insect performance, affecting growth, development, and survival. While temperature accelerates physiological processes in ectothermic insects, nutrient limitation in host plants can ...

Autonomic thermoregulation in squirrel monkey when behavioral regulation is limited

, 1976
Squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) in a cold environment (10, 0, or -5 degrees C) learned to partially control their chamber air temperature by pulling a chain for 10-s reinforcements of 30 degrees C air.

Thermoregulation in a lacertid lizard : the relative contributions of distinct behavioral mechanisms

, 1996
: The lacertid lizard Podarcis hispanica atrata maintained remarkably constant body temperatures (T-b) throughout its daily activity period in early autumn, despite significant variability in available operative temperatures (T-e).
