The Genetics of Thermoregulation in Pigs: A Review
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Heat stress (HS) affects pig performance, health and welfare, resulting in a financial burden to the pig industry. Pigs have a limited number of functional sweat glands and their thermoregulatory mechanisms used to maintain body temperature, are ...

Foraging patch selection in winter: a balance between predation risk and thermoregulation benefit. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In winter, foraging activity is intended to optimize food search while minimizing both thermoregulation costs and predation risk. Here we quantify the relative importance of thermoregulation and predation in foraging patch selection of woodland birds ...

Current Opinion in Physiology, 2020 In homeothermic animals sleep preparatory behaviours often promote thermal efficiency, including warmth-seeking, adopting particular postures (curling up, head tucking) and nest building, all promoting warmer skin microclimates. Skin warmth induces NREM sleep and body cooling via circuitry that connects skin sensation to the preoptic hypothalamus ...

Dehydration constrains thermoregulation and space use in lizards.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Climate change is negatively affecting many species. The increase in mean air temperature is often associated with shifts in distribution, changes in phenology, and local extinctions. Other factors that only partially correlate with air temperature, like

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1991 The human being is a homeotherm. Homeothermy is a result of thermoregulation which includes many physiological processes. Thermoregulation maintains an equilibrium between heat production (thermogenesis) and heat loss (thermolysis).
