Ethnographic meta-analysis shows that thermoregulation activities predict needle and awl use in North America. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Needles and awls are common artifacts in the perishable archaeological record. To understand behavioral motivations for their use, this study examines ethnographic activities linked to needles and awls in North America.

Nighttime behaviors of white-headed langurs (Trachypithecus leucocephalus): The role of predation avoidance and thermoregulation

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
We collected nighttime behavioral data by observing a group of white-headed langurs (Trachypithecus leucocephalus), comprising 16 individuals in a limestone forest in Guangxi Chongzuo National Nature Reserve, China, from October 2016 to August 2017.

Can newts cope with the heat? Disparate thermoregulatory strategies of two sympatric species in water. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Seasonal Variation in the Thermoregulation Pattern of an Insular Agamid Lizard

open access: yesAnimals, 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.

An mPOA-ARCAgRP pathway modulates cold-evoked eating behavior

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: Enhanced appetite occurs as a means of behavioral thermoregulation at low temperature. Neural circuitry mediating this crosstalk between behavioral thermoregulation and energy homeostasis remains to be elucidated.

The Challenge of Global Warming in Water Buffalo Farming: Physiological and Behavioral Aspects and Strategies to Face Heat Stress

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Water buffaloes have morphological and behavioral characteristics for efficient thermoregulation. However, their health, welfare, and productive performance can be affected by GW.

Thermal Drone Technology Used to Capture Thermoregulation in Wild Sumatran Elephants

open access: yesHayati 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 ...

In the Hot Seat: Behavioral Change and Old-Growth Trees Underpin an Australian Songbird’s Response to Extreme Heat

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Anthropogenic climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of heat waves, thereby threatening biodiversity, particularly in hot, arid regions.
