A system for the study of behavioral thermoregulation of small animals
Physiology & Behavior, 1985A system suitable for the simultaneous monitoring of two unrestrained animals in separate thermoclines is described. It makes use of low-cost, field-proven components to: provide a graded convective and/or conductive temperature continuum over a relatively short runway; measure ambient temperatures at multiple locations within the thermocline; measure ...

Behavioral Thermoregulation with Microwave Radiation of Albino Rats
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1986The objective of this exploratory study was to investigate the extent to which microwave radiation would reinforce operant behavior in a cold environment. A reversal-design with the single subject serving as its own control was used for testing the reinforcing properties of microwaves. Six albino rats were conditioned to produce 6-sec.

Alcohol Effects on Behavioral Thermoregulation with Microwave Radiation
Psychological Reports, 1992Ethanol may play an active role in modifying “set point” levels in conjunction with behavioral thermoregulation. A geometric series of doses of ethanol solutions was administered (ip) prior to fixed-interval 2-min. schedules of microwave reinforcement in rats tested in a cold environment.

Mate Selection and Behavioral Thermoregulation in Fowler's Toads
Science, 1981Male Fowler's toads produce mating calls that are affected by the body size and temperature of the caller. Females are able to discriminate between variations in these calls and select the largest available males. By thermoregulation, males are able to alter their calls to make them more attractive to females.

Displacements of rectal temperature modify behavioral thermoregulation
Physiology & Behavior, 1971Abstract During behavioral thermoregulation, the temperature of the body core rises (or falls) in response to cooling (or warming) the medial preoptic area of the hypothalamus. Brief thermal displacements of the deep viscera of squirrel monkeys, accomplished via a rectal thermode, stimulate behavioral alterations of skin temperature in similar ...

Relationship between autonomic and behavioral thermoregulation in the mouse
Physiology & Behavior, 1985Preferred ambient temperature (Ta) was measured in nine mice of the BALB/c strain using a temperature gradient. When tested over four consecutive days the mean preferred Ta was 30.9 degrees C. In another study using the same animals, metabolic rate, evaporative water loss, whole-body thermal conductance, and colonic temperature were measured at ...
