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 primates: A review of literature and future avenues

American Journal of Primatology
Primates face severe challenges from climate change, with warming expected to increase animals' thermoregulatory demands. Primates have limited long‐term options to cope with climate change, but possess a remarkable capacity for behavioral plasticity ...

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,

Dynamics of behavioral thermoregulation in the rat

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1991
Past studies have found that the laboratory rat placed in a temperature gradient prefers temperatures that are markedly below its lower critical ambient temperature (LCT), whereas other rodents (e.g., mouse, hamster, and guinea pig) generally select thermal environments associated with minimal metabolic expenditure.

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

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 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.

Behavioral thermoregulation during vitamin B₆ deficiency

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1963
Thermoregulatory behavior was studied in vitamin B6-deficient and control rats exposed to a temperature of 2–3 C. The animals were kept in an experimental chamber provided with a lever which, when pressed, turned on a heat lamp placed above the chamber. The B6-deficient rats turned on the heat lamp more frequently than did the controls.

Behavioral Thermoregulation in Butterflies

Ecology, 1966
Behavioral thermoregulation is well studied in reptiles but has not previously been known to exist in butterflies, where it seems to be widespread and perhaps universal. Like reptiles, butterflies are heliotherms, deriving their heat almost exclusively from the sun. For reception of heat they make much use of their wings. Blood circulates in the wings,

Displacements of rectal temperature modify behavioral thermoregulation

Physiology & Behavior, 1971
Abstract 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 ...
