Environmental assessment for the Satellite Power System (SPS): Studies of honey bees exposed to 2.45 GHz continuous wave electromagnetic energy [PDF]
, 1980 Post treatment brood development was normal and teratological effects were not detected at exposures of 3 to 50 mw sq cm for 30 minutes. Post treatment survival, longevity, orientation, navigation, and memory of adult bees were also normal after ...

Thermoregulatory Requirements Shape Mating Opportunities of Male Proboscis Bats
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 The spatiotemporal distribution of females is a major factor affecting animal social systems. Predation risk and the distribution of feeding resources often determine where females are found, but abiotic factors (e.g., temperature) can also shape the ...

Oxytocin receptor induces mammary tumorigenesis through prolactin/p-STAT5 pathway
Cell Death and Disease, 2021 Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) is involved in social behaviors, thermoregulation, and milk ejection, yet little is known about its role in breast cancer. To investigate the role of OXTR in mammary gland development and tumorigenesis, a transgenic mouse model ...

Classification of the factors of functioning of the individual human thermoregulation system and prediction of its state (local thermophysical aspects) [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 A classification of the tasks of human thermoregulation is proposed, which allows combining various scientific studies into one system, which takes into account environmental factors, biological feedback in the body and different properties of the constituent parts of the human thermoregulation system.

Infrared thermochromic antenna composite for self-adaptive thermoregulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Self-adaptive thermoregulation, the mechanism living organisms use to balance their temperature, holds great promise for decarbonizing cooling and heating processes. The functionality can be effectively emulated by engineering the thermal emissivity of materials to adapt to background temperature variations.

Feeling cold is contagious [PDF]
, 2015 Seeing someone plunge into an ice-cold bath induces feelings of cold. However, it was recently demonstrated that viewing another's skin temperature change also induces a small congruent temperature change in the observer.

Lateralization (handedness) in Magellanic penguins [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Lateralization, or asymmetry in form and/or function, is found in many animal species. Brain lateralization is considered adaptive for an individual, and often results in “handedness,” “footedness,” or a side preference, manifest in behavior and ...

The Human Penguin Project: Climate, Social Integration, and Core Body Temperature
Collabra: Psychology, 2018 Social thermoregulation theory posits that modern human relationships are pleisiomorphically organized around body temperature regulation. In two studies (N = 1755) designed to test the principles from this theory, we used supervised machine learning to ...

Homosexual Fellatio: Erect Penis Licking between Male Bonin Flying Foxes Pteropus pselaphon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 A recent focus of interest has been on the functional significance of genital licking (fellatio and cunnilingus) in relation to sexual selection in Pteropodid bats.

Skin temperature reveals the intensity of acute stress [PDF]
, 2015 Acute stress triggers peripheral vasoconstriction, causing a rapid, short-term drop in skin temperature in homeotherms. We tested, for the first time, whether this response has the potential to quantify stress, by exhibiting proportionality with stressor
