Differential habitat use as a behavioral thermoregulatory strategy in lemurs [PDF]

open access: yes
In order to reduce the energetic cost of controlling internal body temperatures physiologically, animals engage in “behavioral thermoregulatory activities.” These strategies include changing postures, social huddling, and moving to different levels of ...

A forebrain neural substrate for behavioral thermoregulation

Neuron, 2022
Thermoregulatory behavior is a basic motivated behavior for body temperature homeostasis. Despite its fundamental importance, a forebrain region or defined neural population required for this process has yet to be established. Here, we show that Vgat-expressing neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LHVgat neurons) are required for diverse ...

Dynamics of behavioral thermoregulation in the rat

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1991
Past studies have found that the laboratory rat placed in a temperature gradient prefers temperatures that are markedly below its lower critical ambient temperature (LCT), whereas other rodents (e.g., mouse, hamster, and guinea pig) generally select thermal environments associated with minimal metabolic expenditure.

Caffeine Effects on Behavioral Thermoregulation

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1991
Caffeine has a wide range of behaviorally active properties. Varying doses of caffeine solutions were administered (ip) prior to fixed-interval 2-min. schedules of microwave reinforcement in rats tested in a cold environment. Four Sprague-Dawley rats were conditioned to regulate their thermal environment with 5-sec.

Behavioral thermoregulation by hypoxic rats

Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1992
AbstractTo address whether a shift in hypothalamic thermal setpoint might be a significant factor in induction of hypoxic hypothermia, behavioral thermoregulation was examined in 7 female Sprague‐Dawley rats implanted with radiotelethermometers for deep body temperature (Tb) measurement in a thermocline during normoxia (PO2 = 125 torr) and hypoxia (PO2

Behavioral thermoregulation in newborn rabbits.

Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 1982
Newborn rabbits show behavioral and physiological thermoregulatory responses within the first hours of life. Although the mother prepares a nest for her young, she does not stay with them. The hairless immature young survive by huddling together in the nest. In this study, ambient temperature had a powerful influence on the behavior of newborn rabbits,

Behavioral thermoregulation in chicks: The best nest

Developmental Psychobiology, 1997
The ability of prehomeothermic chicks to thermoregulate behaviorally was studied in chicks with continuous access to heated nests, running wheels, and separate sources of high and low protein. In Experiment 1, cold-reared groups with heated or unheated transparent nests ate the same amount and selected the same dietary fractions, but chicks with heated

Bombesian alters behavioral thermoregulation in fish

Life Sciences, 1981
Abstract Bombesin was microinjected into the ventricular system of a teleost fish, Catostomus commersoni , in order to evaluate its effects on behavioral thermoregulation in a horizontal thermal gradient. General locomotor activity was also examined.
