Estrogenic modulation of female thermoregulatory behavior in a cold environment

open access: yesJournal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2016
Thermoregulation is categorized as either autonomic (i.e., sweating, shivering) or behavioral (i.e., wearing clothes, usage of air conditioner) thermoregulation. Compared to autonomic thermoregulation, the neural pathway of behavioral thermoregulation in

Interactions Between Temperature Variability and Reproductive Physiology Across Traits in an Intertidal Crab

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Thermal extremes alter population processes, which can result in part from temperature-induced movement at different spatial and temporal scales. Thermal thresholds for animal movement likely change based on underlying thermal physiology and life-history

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.

Climate dependent heating efficiency in the common lizard

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Regulation of body temperature is crucial for optimizing physiological performance in ectotherms but imposes constraints in time and energy. Time and energy spent thermoregulating can be reduced through behavioral (e.g., basking adjustments) or ...

Gut Microbial Community and Host Thermoregulation in Small Mammals

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
The endotherms, particularly the small mammals living in the polar region and temperate zone, are faced with extreme challenges for maintaining stable core body temperatures in harsh cold winter.

Behavioral thermoregulation in mammals: a review

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience, 2011
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.

Functional links between thermoregulation and sleep in children with neurodevelopmental and chronic health conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2022
The bi-directional relationship between sleep and wake is recognized as important for all children. It is particularly consequential for children who have neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) or health conditions which challenge their sleep and biological

Climate trends and behavior of a model Amazonian terrestrial insectivore, black‐faced antthrush, indicate adjustment to hot and dry conditions

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, 2022
Rainforest loss threatens terrestrial insectivorous birds throughout the world's tropics. Recent evidence suggests these birds are declining in undisturbed Amazonian rainforest, possibly due to climate change.

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 ...
