Radiative Cooling and Thermoregulation in the Earth's Glow [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Passive radiative cooling involves a net radiative heat loss into the cold outer space through the atmospheric transmission windows. Due to its passive nature and net cooling effect, it is a promising alternative or complement to electrical cooling. For efficient radiative cooling of objects, an unimpeded view of the sky is ideal.

Moosinesq Convection in the Cores of Moosive Stars [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Stars with masses $\gtrsim 4 \times 10^{27}M_{\rm{moose}} \approx 1.1 M_\odot$ have core convection zones during their time on the main sequence. In these moosive stars, convection introduces many uncertainties in stellar modeling. In this Letter, we build upon the Boussinesq approximation to present the first-ever simulations of Moosinesq convection ...

Establishing the behavioural limits for countershaded camouflage [PDF]
, 2017 Countershading is a ubiquitous patterning of animals whereby the side that typically faces the highest illumination is darker. When tuned to specific lighting conditions and body orientation with respect to the light field, countershading minimizes the ...

Microhabitat selection by marine mesoconsumers in a thermally heterogeneous habitat: behavioral thermoregulation or avoiding predation risk? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Habitat selection decisions by consumers has the potential to shape ecosystems. Understanding the factors that influence habitat selection is therefore critical to understanding ecosystem function.

Hierarchical Model with Allee Effect, Immigration, and Holling Type II Functional Response [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this paper, we discuss a hierarchical model, based on a Ricker competition model. The species considered are competing for resources and may be subject to an Allee effect due to mate limitation, anti-predator vigilance or aggression, cooperative predation or resource defense, or social thermoregulation.

Thermoregulation in mice, rats and humans: An insight into the evolution of human hairlessness [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The thermoregulation system in animals removes body heat in hot temperatures and retains body heat in cold temperatures. The better the animal removes heat, the worse the animal retains heat and visa versa. It is the balance between these two conflicting goals that determines the mammal's size, heart rate and amount of hair. The rat's loss of tail hair
