Best practice recommendations for the use of fully implanted telemetry devices in pinnipeds
Electronic telemetry devices have enabled many novel and important data collection and experimental opportunities for difficult to observe species. Externally attached devices have limited retention and may affect thermoregulation, energetics, social and

Communally breeding bats use physiological and behavioural adjustments to optimise daily energy expenditure [PDF]
Small endotherms must change roosting and thermoregulatory behaviour in response to changes in ambient conditions if they are to achieve positive energy balance.

Performance of the Ethiopian Somali goats during different watering regimes [PDF]
Water is scarce in the semi-arid regions of Ethiopia and therefore goats are watered intermittently. This can result in dehydration and decreased animal performance.

Conflict between background matching and social signalling in a colour-changing freshwater fish [PDF]
The ability to change coloration allows animals to modify their patterning to suit a specific function. Many freshwater fishes, for example, can appear cryptic by altering the dispersion of melanin pigment in the skin to match the visual background ...

Necrophagous insects are mostly known through forensic entomology. Indeed, experimental data investigating the effect of temperature on larval development underlies post-mortem interval estimations.

Collective thermoregulation in bee clusters [PDF]
Swarming is an essential part of honeybee behaviour, wherein thousands of bees cling onto each other to form a dense cluster that may be exposed to the environment for several days. This cluster has the ability to maintain its core temperature actively without a central controller, and raises the question of how this is achieved.

Extreme temperatures impose energy costs on endotherms through thermoregulation and different adaptations help individuals to cope with these conditions.

Endoscopic Thoracic sympathectomy for Primary Palmar hyperhidrosis
Primary hyperhidrosis is a disorder in which there is an excessive amount of sweating more than required for the body’s thermoregulation. It is due to excessive function of the sudomotor sweat control system in the absence of a sweating trigger.

Low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with a cooling vest improves recovery of elite kayakers following a simulated 1000-m race in a hot environment [PDF]
This study compared the effects of a low-frequency electrical stimulation (LFES; Veinoplus® Sport, Ad Rem Technology, Paris, France), a low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with a cooling vest (LFESCR) and an active recovery combined with a ...
