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

PLoS 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).

A dam‐inspired textile patch with layer‐by‐layer isovolumetric water transport for sweat loss monitoring

InfoMat, EarlyView.
A dam‐inspired textile patch for controllable and quantitative sweat transport (as in dams transporting ships) and sweat loss monitoring. Unlike the conventional Janus‐structured textile of directional water transport model, this textile patch features a multi‐laminated all‐porous fabric structure with an unprecedented layer‐by‐layer isovolumetric ...

Social thermoregulation as a potential mechanism linking sociality and fitness: Barbary macaques with more social partners form larger huddles

Scientific Reports, 2018
Individuals with more or stronger social bonds experience enhanced survival and reproduction in various species, though the mechanisms mediating these effects are unclear.

Improving sleep on the inpatient general, non‐stroke neurology service: A quasi‐experimental interventional trial

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hospitalized patients often experience poor sleep, which is associated with worse health outcomes, increased rates of delirium, and readmissions. Objective To improve overnight sleep for clinically stable general neurology patients at a single academic center.

Effect of temperature on body temperature and resting metabolic rate in pups of Eothenomys miletus [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013
In order to investigate the ability of ambient temperature and thermoregulation in Eothenomys miletus, body temperature and resting metabolic rate (RMR) were measured during postnatal development (1-49 day) when E.

Modernizing Relationship Therapy through Social Thermoregulation Theory: Evidence, Hypotheses, and Explorations

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
In the present article the authors propose to modernize relationship therapy by integrating novel sensor and actuator technologies that can help optimize people’s thermoregulation, especially as they pertain to social contexts. Specifically, they propose

Raman Signature of the Wings of the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly: Pantala flavescens

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy is used to confirm the presence of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and related derivatives including aldehydes, halides, alcohols, acids, esters, and phenols on the wings of Pantala flavescens. The analysis indicates that wing‐surface lipid composition is largely consistent across the three main ecological zones in Ghana. Notably,

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

The exercise sex gap and the impact of the estrous cycle on exercise performance in mice

Scientific Reports, 2018
Exercise physiology is different in males and females. Females are poorly studied due to the complexity of the estrous cycle and this bias has created an exercise sex gap.

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.
