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 ...

Multi‐Axis Stretchable Zippers for Personalized Wound Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multi‐axis stretchable zippers can adapt to complex wound morphologies and enable personalized wound treatment through programmable contraction. This morphological matching strategy helps accelerate wound closure, improve blood perfusion, promote epithelial regeneration, and enhance collagen remodeling, pioneering new directions for personalized and ...

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 ...

Mapping Shade Availability and Use in Zoo Environments: A Tool for Evaluating Thermal Comfort

Animals, 2020
For many species in zoos, particularly megafauna vulnerable to heat stress, shade is a key environmental resource. However, shade availability has received comparatively less attention than other aspects of the zoo environment.

Behavioral thermoregulation in mice inoculated with influenza virus [PDF]

Physiology & Behavior, 1992
Mice housed at 30 degrees C and inoculated with a mouse-adapted influenza virus show a fall in body temperature (Tb) and a decrease in food intake to almost 0 grams per day. This study tested whether the fall in Tb could be accounted for by the decreased food intake and whether the fall in Tb was due to a decrease of thermoregulatory set point or to an

Intrinsic Coupling of Radiative Cooling and Triboelectric Responses in Dual‐Function ZrO2 Nanocomposites for Adaptive Thermoregulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel nanocomposite design strategy utilizes ZrO2 to intrinsically couple passive daytime radiative cooling and triboelectric functionality within a single material platform. Fabricated via direct ink writing, the multifunctional breathable architecture provides effective sub‐ambient cooling, motion‐driven energy harvesting, and adaptive ...

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 ...

T2T Genome Assembly and Multi‐Omics Data Reveal Terrestrial Adaptation and Mucus Biosynthesis in Tropical Leatherleaf Slug (Laevicaulis alte)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A gap‐free genome assembly and multi‐omics comparison of the terrestrial slug Laevichaulis alte with an aquatic relative reveal that expansion of the VEGF family orchestrates mucus production, lipid metabolism, and immune defense—highlighting key molecular innovations for conquering life on land.

Behavioral niche partitioning in a sympatric tiger beetle assemblage and implications for the endangered Salt Creek tiger beetle [PDF]

PeerJ, 2013
How behavioral patterns are related to niche partitioning is an important question in understanding how closely related species within ecological communities function.
