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

Social thermoregulation in least shrews, Cryptotis parva [PDF]
Cryptotis parva exhibits a geographic range and ecological requirements unique among North American soricines: it possesses a latitudinal distribution, metabolism and communal nesting pattern more like the crocidurines of the eastern hemisphere.

We propose the first Registered Report examining social co-thermoregulation in humans, a widely studied phenomenon in ecology whereby animals help regulate body heat through conspecifics (for example, by huddling).

Sociality Affects REM Sleep Episode Duration Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions in the Rock Hyrax, Procavia capensis [PDF]
The rock hyrax, Procavia capensis, is a highly social, diurnal mammal. In the current study several physiologically measurable parameters of sleep, as well as the accompanying behavior, were recorded continuously from five rock hyraxes, for 72 h under ...

Social thermoregulation in Apodemus flavicollis (Melchior, 1834) [PDF]
Zmierzono zuzycie tlenu u 120 myszy wielkookich leśnych w zespolach o liczebności 2-5 osobnikow, w zakresie temperatur otoczenia 5-25°C. Zuzycie tlenu u A. flavicollis zalezy nie tylko od temperatury otoczenia, ale rowniez od liczebności grupy (Tabela 1).

How stressors disrupt honey bee biological traits and overwintering mechanisms [PDF]
High winter mortality of honey bees (Apis mellifera) has been observed in temperate regions over the past 30 years. Several biotic and abiotic stressors associated with winter colony losses have been identified, but the mechanisms and interactions ...

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]
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.

Thermoregulation strategies in ants in comparison to other social insects, with a focus on red wood ants (Formica rufa group) [PDF]
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.

Neonicotinoid exposure disrupts bumblebee nest behavior, social networks, and thermoregulation
Trouble at the hive Neonicotinoid pesticides cause mortality and decline in insect pollinators. One repeatedly noted effect is a reduction in bee colony size. However, the mechanism behind this reduction is unclear. Crall et al.

Sociality influences thermoregulation and roost switching in a forest bat using ephemeral roosts
In summer, many temperate bat species use daytime torpor, but breeding females do so less to avoid interferences with reproduction. In forest‐roosting bats, deep tree cavities buffer roost microclimate from abrupt temperature oscillations and facilitate ...
