Thermoregulation in reindeer

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 ...

Turn it off and on again: characteristics and control of torpor [version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations, 1 not approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2022
Torpor is a hypothermic, hypoactive, hypometabolic state entered into by a wide range of animals in response to environmental challenge. This review summarises the current understanding of torpor.

Prpf4 sequentially regulates the expansion and maturation of erythrocyte through distinct mechanisms

Cell Death Discovery
The proliferation of early erythrocyte and the subsequent maturation are critical events during erythropoiesis, while how these two independent but interconnected processes are efficiently orchestrated during erythropoiesis is largely unknown.

How effectively do European skinks thermoregulate? Evidence from Chalcides ocellatus, a common but overlooked Mediterranean lizard

Acta Herpetologica, 2018
Effective thermoregulation is of vital importance since body temperature affects virtually all physiological and biochemical processes. Yet, our current knowledge in reptilian thermoregulation is largely based on a few, well-studied taxonomic groups ...

Thermoregulation of Meningococcal fHbp, an Important Virulence Factor and Vaccine Antigen, Is Mediated by Anti-ribosomal Binding Site Sequences in the Open Reading Frame.

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
During colonisation of the upper respiratory tract, bacteria are exposed to gradients of temperatures. Neisseria meningitidis is often present in the nasopharynx of healthy individuals, yet can occasionally cause severe disseminated disease.

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
