.... Summary: The present study provides increased understanding of the energetic costs faced by bats in thermally challenging environments along an environmental temperature gradient. Allometric scaling BMR Chiroptera Insectivorous Myotis mystacinus Thermoregulation Norwegian...

...Kun Guo; Jun Zhong; Lin Zhu; Fan Xie; Yu Du; Xiang Ji ABSTRACT One of the main functions of physiological color change is thermoregulation. This change occurs much more rapidly than morphological color change, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we studied the thermal...

...Jessica L. Yorzinski; Jennifer Lam; Rachel Schultz; Melissa Davis ABSTRACT Many animals inhabit environments where they experience temperature fluctuations. One way in which animals can adjust to these temperature changes is through behavioral thermoregulation. However, we know little about...

...Francisco Herrerías-Azcué; Chris Blount; Mark Dickinson ABSTRACT The near infrared reflection peak in some frogs has been speculated to be either for enhancing crypticity, or to help them with thermoregulation. The theoretical background for the thermoregulatory processes has been established...

...Helmut Kovac; Anton Stabentheiner Summary In insect groups with the ability of endothermy, the thermoregulatory capacity has a direct relation to body mass. To verify this relationship in vespine wasps, we compared the thermoregulation of hornets ( Vespa crabro ), the largest species of wasps...
