CURRENT STUDIES IN THERMOREGULATION

open access: yesPensar en Movimiento, 2014
The aim of this review is to present recent advances in the understanding of the physiological mechanisms of thermoregulation in mammals, which can be divided into two types including reflex (or autonomic) and behavioral thermoregulation.

The orchestration of autonomous and behavioral thermoregulation [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2018
There seems to be an efficient order in the recruitment of thermo-effectors, which allows for body temperature regulation at minimal cost of nutrients and water. But how does thermal behaviour fit in this order? In this edition Schlader et al. hypothesized that thermal behavior fits in the orderly recruitment of thermo-effectors as follows: 1 ...

Impact of global warming at the range margins: phenotypic plasticity and behavioral thermoregulation will buffer an endemic amphibian [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2014
© 2014 The Authors. Ecology and Evolution published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. When dispersal is not an option to evade warming temperatures, compensation through behavior, plasticity, or evolutionary adaptation is essential to prevent extinction.

Landscape effects on the thermotolerance of carabid beetles and the role of behavioral thermoregulation. [PDF]

open access: yesInsect Sci, 2023
International audiencePhysiological thermotolerance and behavioral thermoregulation are central to seasonal cold adaptation in ectothermic organisms. For species with enhanced mobility, behavioral responses may be of greater importance in the cold stress

Human behavioral thermoregulation during exercise in the heat [PDF]

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2015
The human capacity to perform prolonged exercise is impaired in hot environments. To address this issue, a number of studies have investigated behavioral aspects of thermoregulation that are recognized as important factors in determining performance. In this review, we evaluated and interpreted the available knowledge regarding the voluntary control of

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.
