A method of evaluating the accuracy of human body thermoregulation models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Human Body Thermoregulation Models have been widely used in the field of human physiology or thermal comfort studies. However there are few studies on the evaluation method for these models.

Recent advances in thermoregulation.

open access: yesAdvances in Physiology Education, 2015
Thermoregulation is the maintenance of a relatively constant core body temperature. Humans normally maintain a body temperature at 37°C, and maintenance of this relatively high temperature is critical to human survival.

A socioecological approach to understanding and positively affecting the intersectionality between disability, race and ethnicity, climate change, and rehabilitation outcomes: A scoping review

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Health care outcomes for people with disability may be disproportionately affected by climate change through multiple interlinked factors, which are not well understood. Objective With use of scoping review methodology, this study aimed to model this intersectionality using socioecological (SE) levels to connect person‐level ...

Effect of local hand cooling on thermoregulation and rhythm of cardiogram of students from hot climate

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Medicine, 2014
The article presents data on changes in thermoregulation and heart rate variability due to local cooling of the hand from hot climate zone natives. Shown that a significant number of peripheral vascular spasms in response to local cooling do not occur ...

Why Small Is Beautiful: Wing Colour Is Free from Thermoregulatory Constraint in the Small Lycaenid Butterfly, Polyommatus icarus.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
We examined the roles of wing melanisation, weight, and basking posture in thermoregulation in Polyommatus Icarus, a phenotypically variable and protandrous member of the diverse Polyommatinae (Lycaenidae).

Colony and individual life-history responses to temperature in a social insect pollinator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pollinating insects are of major ecological and commercial importance, yet they may be facing ecological disruption from a changing climate. Despite this threat, few studies have investigated the life-history responses of pollinators to experimentally ...

Help from the past to cope with the future: Vitis sylvestris as a resource for abiotic stress resilience

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Viticulture is facing increasing challenges due to climate change. The focus on fast growth and sweet berries has come at the expense of stress resilience. Grafting onto Phylloxera‐resistant rootstocks from American species has been the most successful form of ecological pest management.

Influence of bait and habitat on site visitation by wild pigs (Sus scrofa)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Bait, a food item, is important for attracting wild pigs to a site for management and considering habitat, including distance to water and understory, increases likelihood of wild pig visitation. Abstract BACKGROUND Wild pigs (Sus scrofa), known for their impacts on ecosystems in both their native and invasive ranges, are commonly managed using lethal ...
