..., in this or future designs, we recommend that fish are stressed and released in each of the different chambers to ensure any change in distribution across chambers is a result of thermal preferences changing and not due to differences in the chamber or temperature effects on behaviour. Given the results from...

... availability was mediating this relationship, we limited fatty acid availability with mercaptoacetate (MA) and quantified its effect on torpid metabolic rate( TMR ) and thermal preference of big brown bats ( Eptesicus fuscus ). Administration of MA caused a 43% drop in TMR at 10°C and caused bats to choose...

..., that observed distribution might misrepresent true thermal preferences. Tiny ectotherms have limited thermal inertia, and so their body temperature and speed of movement will vary with their position along the gradient. In order to separate the direct effects of body temperature on movement from actual...
