Physiological and Behavioral Mechanisms of Thermoregulation in Mammals
Animals, 2021 This review analyzes the main anatomical structures and neural pathways that allow the generation of autonomous and behavioral mechanisms that regulate body heat in mammals.

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 ...

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 ...

Functional relationship between peripheral thermosensation and behavioral thermoregulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural CircuitsThermoregulation is a fundamental mechanism for maintaining homeostasis in living organisms because temperature affects essentially all biochemical and physiological processes. Effector responses to internal and external temperature cues are critical for

Thermoregulation Effects of Phoneutria nigriventer Isolated Toxins in Rats [PDF]
ToxinsBody temperature is primarily regulated by the hypothalamus, ensuring proper metabolic function. Envenomation by Phoneutria nigriventer can cause symptoms such as hypothermia, hyperthermia, sweating, and shivering, all related to thermoregulation.

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

Rangifer, 1986 Thermoregulation was studied in Finnish reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L) on captive and herded individuals during 1977-85. Newborn calves maintained a high rectal temperature (Tre) (+39 to +41°C) even at —23°C by increasing heat production 5- to 6-fold ...
