Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The regulation of body temperature (thermoregulation) and of water balance (defined here as hydroregulation) are key processes underlying ecological and evolutionary responses to climate fluctuations in wild animal populations.

Classification of the factors of functioning of the individual human thermoregulation system and prediction of its state (local thermophysical aspects) [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 A classification of the tasks of human thermoregulation is proposed, which allows combining various scientific studies into one system, which takes into account environmental factors, biological feedback in the body and different properties of the constituent parts of the human thermoregulation system.

Sociality Affects REM Sleep Episode Duration Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions in the Rock Hyrax, Procavia capensis. [PDF]
, 2017 The rock hyrax, Procavia capensis, is a highly social, diurnal mammal. In the current study several physiologically measurable parameters of sleep, as well as the accompanying behavior, were recorded continuously from five rock hyraxes, for 72 h under ...

Modeling behavioral thermoregulation in a climate change sentinel [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2015 AbstractWhen possible, many species will shift in elevation or latitude in response to rising temperatures. However, before such shifts occur, individuals will first tolerate environmental change and then modify their behavior to maintain heat balance.

An mPOA-ARCAgRP pathway modulates cold-evoked eating behavior
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Enhanced appetite occurs as a means of behavioral thermoregulation at low temperature. Neural circuitry mediating this crosstalk between behavioral thermoregulation and energy homeostasis remains to be elucidated.

Infrared thermochromic antenna composite for self-adaptive thermoregulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Self-adaptive thermoregulation, the mechanism living organisms use to balance their temperature, holds great promise for decarbonizing cooling and heating processes. The functionality can be effectively emulated by engineering the thermal emissivity of materials to adapt to background temperature variations.

Colony and individual life-history responses to temperature in a social insect pollinator [PDF]
, 2015 Pollinating insects are of major ecological and commercial importance, yet they may be facing ecological disruption from a changing climate. Despite this threat, few studies have investigated the life-history responses of pollinators to experimentally ...

Functional relationship between peripheral thermosensation and behavioral thermoregulation
Frontiers in Neural CircuitsThermoregulation is a fundamental mechanism for maintaining homeostasis in living organisms because temperature affects essentially all biochemical and physiological processes. Effector responses to internal and external temperature cues are critical for
