Head Regional Differences in Thermal Comfort: Evaluating a Novel Surgical Helmet Cooling Method with Phase Change Material

Surgeries, 2023
Thermal comfort is a significant factor in maintaining a satisfactory perception of the body temperature and influences behavioral thermoregulation. This pilot study aimed to investigate regional differences in thermal comfort in the head and neck areas ...

Thermoregulatory Requirements Shape Mating Opportunities of Male Proboscis Bats

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
The spatiotemporal distribution of females is a major factor affecting animal social systems. Predation risk and the distribution of feeding resources often determine where females are found, but abiotic factors (e.g., temperature) can also shape the ...

Short-term changes in air humidity and water availability weakly constrain thermoregulation in a dry-skinned ectotherm.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Thermoregulation is critical for ectotherms as it allows them to maintain their body temperature close to an optimum for ecological performance. Thermoregulation includes a range of behaviors that aim at regulating body temperature within a range ...

Move, migrate, or tolerate: Quantifying three tactics for cold‐water fish coping with warm summers in a large river

Ecosphere, 2022
Mainstem rivers are important for provisioning cold‐water fisheries and often support fluvial life histories that grow much larger than resident counterparts in tributaries. However, mainstem rivers are also warmer than tributaries during summer and more

Reptile Embryos Lack the Opportunity to Thermoregulate by Moving within the Egg [PDF]

, 2016
Historically, egg-bound reptile embryos were thought to passively thermoconform to the nest environment. However, recent observations of thermal taxis by embryos of multiple reptile species have led to the widely discussed hypothesis that embryos ...

Effect of Capsaicin and Other Thermo-TRP Agonists on Thermoregulatory Processes in the American Cockroach

Molecules, 2018
Capsaicin is known to activate heat receptor TRPV1 and induce changes in thermoregulatory processes of mammals. However, the mechanism by which capsaicin induces thermoregulatory responses in invertebrates is unknown. Insect thermoreceptors belong to the

Behavioral thermoregulation of caterpillars is altered by temperature, but not parasitism: An empirical field study

Ecosphere, 2023
Laboratory assays show that parasites often have lower heat tolerance than their hosts. But how physiological tolerances and behavioral responses of hosts and parasites combine to affect their ecological interactions in heterogeneous field environments ...

Protection of the brain against heat damage

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2014
In homeothermic animals, metabolic heat production in the brain is higher than in other tissues. However, cerebral tissue is susceptible to heat. Several animals have mechanisms that selectively cool the brain during hyperthermia (i.e., selective brain ...
