, 2021 Bees regulate their individual body temperatures by non-flight thermogenesis (NFT). The effects of a pathogen challenge on thermoregulation in bees generally is unknown, although honeybees have displayed opposing responses between two studies.

Radiative Cooling and Thermoregulation in the Earth's Glow [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Passive radiative cooling involves a net radiative heat loss into the cold outer space through the atmospheric transmission windows. Due to its passive nature and net cooling effect, it is a promising alternative or complement to electrical cooling. For efficient radiative cooling of objects, an unimpeded view of the sky is ideal.

PLoS ONEWhite-nose syndrome is a fungal disease that has decimated hibernating bats from multiple North American species. In 2014, the invasive fungus arrived at a hibernaculum of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) inside the spillway of Tippy Dam, located ...

iScience, 2023 Summary: Social isolation (SI) is associated with an increased risk of mortality and various chronic diseases—including obesity—in humans. Murine studies probing SI metabolic outcomes remain inconsistent, due in part to a lack of consideration for ...

Moosinesq Convection in the Cores of Moosive Stars [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Stars with masses $\gtrsim 4 \times 10^{27}M_{\rm{moose}} \approx 1.1 M_\odot$ have core convection zones during their time on the main sequence. In these moosive stars, convection introduces many uncertainties in stellar modeling. In this Letter, we build upon the Boussinesq approximation to present the first-ever simulations of Moosinesq convection ...

Autonomous animal heating and cooling system for temperature-regulated MR experiments [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Temperature is a hallmark parameter influencing almost all magnetic resonance properties (e.g., T\textsubscript{1}, T\textsubscript{2}, proton density, diffusion and more). In the pre-clinical setting, temperature has a large influence on animal physiology (e.g., respiration rate, heart rate, metabolism, cellular stress, and more) and needs to be ...

Brain serotonin and dopamine modulators, perceptual responses and endurance performance during exercise in the heat following creatine supplementation [PDF]
, 2008 Background:The present experiment examined the responses of peripheral modulators and indices of brain serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) function and their association with perception of effort during prolonged exercise in the heat after creatine (Cr ...

Thermoregulation in mice, rats and humans: An insight into the evolution of human hairlessness [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The thermoregulation system in animals removes body heat in hot temperatures and retains body heat in cold temperatures. The better the animal removes heat, the worse the animal retains heat and visa versa. It is the balance between these two conflicting goals that determines the mammal's size, heart rate and amount of hair. The rat's loss of tail hair

Establishing the behavioural limits for countershaded camouflage [PDF]
, 2017 Countershading is a ubiquitous patterning of animals whereby the side that typically faces the highest illumination is darker. When tuned to specific lighting conditions and body orientation with respect to the light field, countershading minimizes the ...
