... of the thermal acclimation period and in adulthood. Warm birds had lower MHP than control birds at the end of the thermal acclimation period and, in the warmest temperature studied (40°C), also had higher evaporative cooling capacity compared with controls. No analogous responses were recorded in cold birds...

The stepped protocol has, over the last decade, been used to quantify upper limits to heat tolerance and evaporative cooling in 56 arid-zone bird species (reviewed by McKechnie et al., 2021 ), ∼40 species from mesic...

...Caleb L. Loughran; Blair O. Wolf ABSTRACT Because most desert-dwelling lizards rely primarily on behavioral thermoregulation for the maintenance of active body temperature, the effectiveness of panting as a thermoregulatory mechanism for evaporative cooling has not been widely explored. We measured...

...NEIL F. HADLEY; MICHAEL C. QUINLAN; MICHAEL L. KENNEDY Using plant xylem water for evaporative cooling, the desert cicada Diceroprocta apache can maintain a body temperature as much as 5°C below ambient ( T a =42°C). Simultaneous measurements of water loss and gas exchange for cicadas feeding...

... increase markedly. The depression of internal temperature thus appears to be caused by increased tracheal ventilation for evaporative cooling. This finding contradicts the common assumption that evaporative cooling is of little adaptive advantage for thermoregulation in insects. In L. migratoria...
