Behavioral and Physiological Thermoregulation of Crocodilians [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1979 Crocodilians, like other reptiles, regulate their body temperatures by a combination of behavioral and physiological mechanisms. Behaviorally, they seek warm surface water or bask when cool and avoid overheating by the evaporation of water from their dorsum, evaporation of water by gaping or by retreating to deep, cool water.

A heterogeneous thermal environment enables remarkable behavioral thermoregulation in Uta stansburiana. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2014 Ectotherms can attain preferred body temperatures by selecting specific temperature microhabitats within a varied thermal environment. The side-blotched lizard, Uta stansburiana may employ microhabitat selection to thermoregulate behaviorally.

β-amyloid infusion into lateral ventricle alters behavioral thermoregulation and attenuates acquired heat tolerance in rats. [PDF]
Temperature (Austin), 2015 We investigated behavioral thermoregulatory function and acquired heat tolerance of β-amyloid (Aβ)-infused rats. Male Wistar rats were anesthetized and implanted in the intraperitoneal cavity with a temperature transmitter.

Human behavioral thermoregulation during exercise in the heat [PDF]
Scandinavian 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

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