Factors contributing to acute accidental hypothermia (literature review)
Медицина неотложных состояний, 2022 Risk factors for hypothermia include conditions that reduce thermogenesis, disrupt thermoregulation, and increase heat loss. The main groups of risk factors for hypothermia are: low ambient temperature; periodically repeated exposition to cold; reduction

Evaluation of the Thermal Response of the Horns in Dairy Cattle
Animals, 2023 Dairy cattle are typically disbudded or dehorned. Little is known, however, about the biological function and role of horns during thermoregulatory processes in cattle, and thus about the potential physiological consequences of horn removal.

Oxytocin’s Regulation of Thermogenesis May Be the Link to Prader–Willi Syndrome
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Prader–Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder that is caused by either the deletion of the paternal allele of 15q11-q13, maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15 or defects in the chromosome 15 imprinting centre and is ...

Socially thermoregulated thinking: How past experiences matter in thinking about our loved ones
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2017 Body temperature regulation is of crucial importance for nonhuman and human animals. Because other animals are crucial in helping to regulate body temperature, temperature differences likely determine how humans think about their social environment. Since 2008, the psychological literature on social thermoregulation has flourished with approximately 80

Honey bee behaviours within the hive: Insights from long-term video analysis.
PLoS ONE, 2021 The combined behaviours of individuals within insect societies determine the survival and development of the colony. For the western honey bee (Apis mellifera), individual behaviours include nest building, foraging, storing and ripening food, nursing the

Combined nutritional stress and a new systemic pesticide (flupyradifurone, Sivanto®) reduce bee survival, food consumption, flight success, and thermoregulation. [PDF]
, 2019 Flupyradifurone (FPF, Sivanto®) is a new butenolide insecticide that, like the neonicotinoids, is a systemic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist.

Fetal liver blood flow distribution: role in human developmental strategy to prioritize fat deposition versus brain development [PDF]
, 2012 Among primates, human neonates have the largest brains but also the highest proportion of body fat. If placental nutrient supply is limited, the fetus faces a dilemma: should resources be allocated to brain growth, or to fat deposition for use as a ...

Orientation to the sun by animals and its interaction with crypsis [PDF]
, 2015 1. Orientation with respect to the sun has been observed in a wide range of species and hasgenerally been interpreted in terms of thermoregulation and/or ultraviolet (UV) protection. For countershaded animals, orientation with respect to the sun may also
