Current understanding on the neurophysiology of behavioral thermoregulation [PDF]
Temperature, 2015 Temperature influence on the physiology and biochemistry of living organisms has long been recognized, which propels research in the field of thermoregulation. With the cloning and characterization of the transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels as the principal temperature sensors of the mammalian somatosensory neurons, the understanding, at a ...

Two Ascending Thermosensory Pathways from the Lateral Parabrachial Nucleus That Mediate Behavioral and Autonomous Thermoregulation [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 Thermoregulatory behavior in homeothermic animals is an innate behavior to defend body core temperature from environmental thermal challenges in coordination with autonomous thermoregulatory responses.

Impact of global warming at the range margins: phenotypic plasticity and behavioral thermoregulation will buffer an endemic amphibian [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2014 When dispersal is not an option to evade warming temperatures, compensation through behavior, plasticity, or evolutionary adaptation is essential to prevent extinction.

Field-based body temperatures reveal behavioral thermoregulation strategies of the Atlantic marsh fiddler crab Minuca pugnax. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 Behavioral thermoregulation is an important defense against the negative impacts of climate change for ectotherms. In this study we examined the use of burrows by a common intertidal crab, Minuca pugnax, to control body temperature.

Behavioral thermoregulation by reptile embryos promotes hatching success and synchronization [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2023 Reptile embryos can move inside eggs to seek optimal thermal conditions, falsifying the traditional assumption that embryos are simply passive occupants within their eggs.

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 ...

Rhodnius prolixus impairs Trypanosoma cruzi growth through cold-seeking behavioral thermoregulation. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical DiseasesChagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a major neglected tropical disease affecting 6-7 million people worldwide. Rhodnius prolixus, one of the most important vectors of Chagas disease in Latin America, is known to be highly ...

Behavioral thermoregulation in mammals: a review [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2010 In mammals, thermoregulation is a key feature in the maintenance of homeostasis. Thermoregulatory capacities are strongly related to energy balance and animals are constantly seeking to limit the energy costs of normothermia. In case of thermal changes, physiological mechanisms are enhanced, increasing rates of energy expenditure.

Behavioral thermoregulation of caterpillars is altered by temperature, but not parasitism: An empirical field study [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2023 Laboratory assays show that parasites often have lower heat tolerance than their hosts. But how physiological tolerances and behavioral responses of hosts and parasites combine to affect their ecological interactions in heterogeneous field environments ...
