Natural selection on thermal performance in a novel thermal environment [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Tropical ectotherms are considered especially vulnerable to climate change because they have narrow thermal tolerance ranges, such that even small increases in environmental temperature are likely to be detrimental. Although evolutionary adaptation may prevent extinction, it is unclear whether climate change generates selection ...

Thermal variation, thermal extremes and the physiological performance of individuals [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015
ABSTRACTIn this review we consider how small-scale temporal and spatial variation in body temperature, and biochemical/physiological variation among individuals, affect the prediction of organisms' performance in nature. For ‘normal’ body temperatures – benign temperatures near the species' mean – thermal biology traditionally uses performance curves ...

Amino acid solution mitigates hypothermia response and intestinal damage following exertional heat stroke in male mice

Physiological Reports, 2023
Increased gut permeability is implicated in the initiation and extent of the cytokine inflammatory response associated with exertional heat stroke (EHS). The primary objective of this study was to determine if a five amino acid oral rehydration solution (

An Ice Vest, but Not Single-Hand Cooling, Is Effective at Reducing Thermo-Physiological Strain During Exercise Recovery in the Heat

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2021
Sports limit the length of breaks between halves or periods, placing substantial time constraints on cooling effectiveness. This study investigated the effect of active cooling during both time-limited and prolonged post-exercise recovery in the heat ...

Impact of 2 days of staging at 2500–4300 m on sleep quality and quantity following subsequent exposure to 4300 m

Physiological Reports, 2021
The impact of 2 days of staging at 2500–4300 m on sleep quality and quantity following subsequent exposure to 4300 m was determined. Forty‐eight unacclimatized men and women were randomly assigned to stage for 2 days at one of four altitudes (2500, 3000,

Thermal performance analysis of manned airships in a thermally variable environment [PDF]

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences: Technical Sciences, 2022
The safety and reliability of the manned airship depend to a considerable extent on its thermal performance. In this paper, heat balance equations are developed and solved in the C++ programming language.
