Social Thermoregulation: A Meta-Analysis
One key motivating force for bonding across animals is their need to regulate body temperature, also called social thermoregulation. This phenomenon has been extensively documented in animals, but only recently its existence has been suggested in humans.

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 and torpor in the Siberian hamster [PDF]
SUMMARYSocial thermoregulation and huddling bring about energy benefits to animals sharing a nest because of the smaller surface-to-volume ratio of a huddle and the higher local temperature in the nest. We tested whether living in groups and huddling affect daily torpor, metabolic rate and seasonal changes in the body mass of a small heterothermic ...

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 [PDF]
AbstractIn 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 thermoregulation.

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).

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 utilized oxygen consumption (VO₂) techniques to examine metabolic shifts and video to document activity ...

A Theory of Social Thermoregulation in Human Primates [PDF]
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. Despite the high frequency of social thermoregulation occurring across many species, little is known about the role of social thermoregulation in
