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.

Behavioral thermoregulation in the fasted C57BL/6 mouse

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2021
Under relatively cool ambient temperatures and a caloric deficit, mice will undergo daily torpor - a short-term regulated reduction in metabolic rate with a concomitant drop in body temperature. Mice can alternatively achieve metabolic savings by utilizing behavioral changes, such as seeking a warmer environment.

Effects of Bombesin on Behavioral Thermoregulation in the Bullfrog

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2008
Bombesin is a member of a class of neuroactive chemicals that have potent thermoregulatory effects in ectothermic and endothermic vertebrate species. Bombesin-like peptides are found in the brains of ectothermic and endothermic vertebrates and have been implicated in the central nervous system modulation of behavioral thermoregulation.

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

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,

Taurine and Thermoregulation: Behavioral and Cellular Studies

1982
According to the generally accepted model of thermoregulation, the temperature of the body is detected by thermosensitive neurons which bring autonomic and behavioral mechanisms into play to counteract any deviation from the optimal state.

Erratum: Behavioral Thermoregulation

Science, 1961
In the article "Behavioral thermoregulation," by B. Weiss and V. G. Laties [ Science 133, 1338 (28 Apr. 1961)], the third sentence of the legend to Fig. 5 (p. 1341) should have read "Rats 2-1, 4-NN, and 0-1 were also run at an intensity setting of 75 watts." In the published article, rat 3-1 was erroneously included

Effect of sulfolane on behavioral and autonomic thermoregulation in the rat

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1985
Sulfolane (tetrahydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide), a commonly used extraction solvent, promotes rapid changes in the thermoregulatory system. Colonic temperature, skin temperature, metabolic rate, and preferred ambient temperature (Ta) were measured over an 8-h period in the Sprague-Dawley rat following an intraperitoneal injection of sulfolane at 800 mg/kg ...

Reptile embryos are not capable of behavioral thermoregulation in the egg

Evolution & Development, 2017
Reptile embryos have recently been observed moving within the egg in response to temperature, raising the exciting possibility that embryos might behaviorally thermoregulate analogous to adults. However, the conjecture that reptile embryos have ample opportunity and capacity to adaptively control their body temperature warrants further discussion ...
