Social thermoregulation as a potential mechanism linking sociality and fitness: Barbary macaques with more social partners form larger huddles [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Individuals with more or stronger social bonds experience enhanced survival and reproduction in various species, though the mechanisms mediating these effects are unclear.

A Theory of Social Thermoregulation in Human Primates [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Beyond breathing, the regulation of body temperature—thermoregulation—is one of the most pressing concerns for many animals. A dysregulated body temperature has dire consequences for survival and development.

Modernizing Relationship Therapy through Social Thermoregulation Theory: Evidence, Hypotheses, and Explorations [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 In the present article the authors propose to modernize relationship therapy by integrating novel sensor and actuator technologies that can help optimize people’s thermoregulation, especially as they pertain to social contexts. Specifically, they propose

Development and Validation of the Social Thermoregulation and Risk Avoidance Questionnaire (STRAQ-1) [PDF]
International Review of Social Psychology, 2019 Attachment theory was built around the idea that infants rely on others to survive, and it is often forgotten that survival hinged on coping with environmental demands.

Talking About Temperature and Social Thermoregulation in the Languages of the World
International Review of Social Psychology, 2021 The last decade saw rapid growth of the body of work devoted to relations between social thermoregulation and various other domains, with a particular focus on the connection between prosociality and physical warmth.

Use of social thermoregulation fluctuates with mast seeding and reproduction in a pulsed resource consumer. [PDF]
Oecologia, 2020 AbstractEdible dormice (Glis glis) can remain entirely solitary but frequently share sleeping sites with conspecifics in groups of up to 16 adults and yearlings. Here, we analysed grouping behaviour of 4564 marked individuals, captured in a 13-year study in nest boxes in a deciduous forest. We aimed to clarify (i) whether social thermoregulation is the

Data from the Human Penguin Project, a cross-national dataset testing social thermoregulation principles. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2019 Abstract In the Human Penguin Project ( N = 1755), 15 research groups from 12 countries collected body temperature, demographic variables, social network indices, seven widely-used psychological scales and two newly developed ...

Social huddling and physiological thermoregulation are related to melanism in the nocturnal barn owl [PDF]
Oecologia, 2015 Endothermic animals vary in their physiological ability to maintain a constant body temperature. Since melanin-based coloration is related to thermoregulation and energy homeostasis, we predict that dark and pale melanic individuals adopt different ...

Thermoregulation strategies in ants in comparison to other social insects, with a focus on Formica rufa [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/2fv] [PDF]
F1000Research, 2013 Temperature influences every aspect of ant biology, especially metabolic rate, growth and development. Maintenance of high inner nest temperature increases the rate of sexual brood development and thereby increases the colony fitness.
