Autonomous animal heating and cooling system for temperature-regulated MR experiments [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Temperature is a hallmark parameter influencing almost all magnetic resonance properties (e.g., T\textsubscript{1}, T\textsubscript{2}, proton density, diffusion and more). In the pre-clinical setting, temperature has a large influence on animal physiology (e.g., respiration rate, heart rate, metabolism, cellular stress, and more) and needs to be ...

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

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.

Neural Code for Ambient Heat Detection in Elaterid Beetles

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020
Environmental thermal conditions play a major role at all levels of biological organization; however, there is little information on noxious high temperature sensation crucial in behavioral thermoregulation and survival of small ectothermic animals such ...

American coot collective on-water dynamics [PDF]

2013 Nonlinear Dynamics, Psychology, and Life Sciences, Vol. 17, No. 2, pp. 183-203, 2012
American coot (Fulica americana) flocks exhibit water surface (two-dimensional) collective dynamics that oscillate between two primary phases: a disordered phase of low density and non-uniform coot body orientations; a synchronized phase characterized by high density, uniform body orientations and speed.

Field-based body temperatures reveal behavioral thermoregulation strategies of the Atlantic marsh fiddler crab Minuca pugnax.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Behavioral thermoregulation is an important defense against the negative impacts of climate change for ectotherms. In this study we examined the use of burrows by a common intertidal crab, Minuca pugnax, to control body temperature.

Collective thermoregulation in bee clusters [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Swarming is an essential part of honeybee behaviour, wherein thousands of bees cling onto each other to form a dense cluster that may be exposed to the environment for several days. This cluster has the ability to maintain its core temperature actively without a central controller, and raises the question of how this is achieved.
