Caterpillar Setae: Insulation for an Ectotherm
Science, 1981Gypsy moth caterpillars have long, soft setae distributed along the lateral portions of the body, but only short, stiff setae on the dorsal surface. Setae act as selective insulation for caterpillars by reducing the rates of convective heat exchange without affecting the rates of radiative heat exchange.

Play behavior in ectothermic vertebrates
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2023Until a few decades ago, play was considered a behavior unique to birds and mammals. Although play in other vertebrates is still a neglected research subject, data on it has been slowly accumulating, and are reviewed here. Now we know that animals as diverse as stingrays, cichlid fishes, monitor lizards, softshell turtles, and crocodiles can be ...

The evolution of thermal physiology in ectotherms [PDF]
During the last quarter of a century, the evolution of the thermal sensitivity of performance in ectotherms has become a major focus of research programs in evolutionary physiology. Graphical and mathematical models describe how the relationship between body temperature and performance, termed the performance function, should evolve in response to the ...
