Social thermoregulation in Mediterranean greater white-toothed shrews (Crocidura russula)
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2021Social thermoregulation is the huddling of two or more individuals that share endogenous warmth to reduce thermoregulation costs. Strategies vary widely depending on the species’ social behavior and the ambient ecological conditions. In greater white-toothed shrews (Crocidura russula), huddling is employed in communal nests only in the colder months ...

Behavioral thermoregulation in long-tailed macaques: Effect on social preference
Physiology & Behavior, 1990Environmental and behavioral data were collected on a captive group of six long-tailed macaques housed in an outdoor cage to determine whether intragroup spacing behavior would vary in a consistent manner in relation to microclimatic variables. Records were made of ambient temperature, relative humidity, and time of day.

Nest Thermoregulation in Social Insects
2006Abstract Most social insect species are able to regulate the temperature within their nests. In this review, we examine the variety of mechanisms that social insect species have evolved to regulate temperature. We divide these mechanisms into two broad categories: active and passive.

Behavioral Thermoregulation and Social Interactions of Bluegills, Lepomis macrochirus
Copeia, 1981The role of temperature in territory selection and the modifying influence of population density and prior residence were studied with bluegills (3.3-5.3 cm total length) in 57-liter bichambered shuttle aquaria. One side of each aquarium was held at the preferred temperature of 31 C and the other side was lower. In 13 out of 14 cases, the dominant fish

Communal nesting in an ‘asocial’ mammal: social thermoregulation among spatially dispersed kin
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2013Communal nesting can help defray the high cost of endothermic heat production in cold environments, but such social behavior is generally thought to be incompatible with the persistent defense of exclusive territories in typically ‘asocial’ animals. We examined the propensity for communal nesting in female red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), which

Mechanisms of Social Thermoregulation in Hibernating Alpine Marmots (Marmota marmota)
2000Group-hibernating Alpine marmots maintain close body contact to other group members during both deep torpor and euthermic intervals. Analyzing telemetrically recorded body temperature (Tb) profiles of 64 free-living marmots we found that rates of heat loss were independent of individual body mass.

Ethology, 2007
AbstractThe social thermoregulation hypothesis states that endothermic species will communally nest to reduce energy expenditures on thermoregulation. The hypothesis predicts that the frequency of communal nesting should increase with decreasing ambient temperature.

[Comparative analysis of thermoregulation in the nests of certain species of social insects].
Zhurnal evoliutsionnoi biokhimii i fiziologii, 1980Studies have been made on thermal regulation in the nests of families of the honey bee Apis mellifera, wasp Dolihovespula silvestris and bumblebees Bombus terrestris, B. agrorum and B. lapidaris during their maximum development. It was shown that thermoregulation significantly stimulated the brood in the nest.
