...–40°C, a range spanning threshold values for sublethal fitness costs associated with sustained hot weather in arid-zone birds. Our findings confirm how taxon-specific parameters together with biologically relevant morphological data can accurately model avian thermoregulatory responses to heat...

.... Whether predicted changes in temperature will contribute to insect mortality or success, and the role of disease in their future survival, remains unclear. Although heat can enhance immunity by activating the integrated defense system (e.g. via the production of protective molecules such as heat-shock...

... water loss (EWL) and core body temperature ( T b ) at air temperatures ( T a ) between 30°C and 52°C in male and female hornbills, and quantified evaporative cooling efficiencies and heat tolerance limits. At thermoneutral T a , neither RMR, EWL nor T b differed between sexes. At T a >40°C, however...

... for the tonic fibres found in amphibian muscle. These two results indicate that the red fibres in dogfish are slow, but not tonic, in their behaviour. Net work output and heat production were measured during complete cycles of sinusoidal movement. The following variables were kept constant: peak-to-peak...

...N. A. Curtin; R. C. Woledge ABSTRACT Net work output and heat production of white myotomal muscle fibres from the dogfish were measured during complete cycles of sinusoidal movement at 12°C. The peak-to-peak movement was about 9% of the muscle fibre length; three stimuli at 32ms intervals were...

...N. A. Curtin; R. C. Woledge ABSTRACT Force and heat production were measured during isovelocity shortening of tetanized white myotomal muscle fibres from the dogfish at 12 °C. For each fibre preparation a range of velocities was used. Mechanical power was calculated from force x velocity...
