...Glenn E. Walsberg; Catherine A. Schmidt ABSTRACT Physical theory predicts that animals with fur or feather coats can adjust solar heat gain independently of surface coloration or environmental factors by altering coat structure or hair optical properties. This hypothesis is tested by examining...

The Significance of Fur Structure for Solar Heat Gain in the Rock Squirrel, Spermophilus Variegatus

Available to Purchase

... of complex coat structure for solar heat gain in the rock squirrel (Spermophilus variegatus (Erxleben, 1777)), a species normally exposed to intense solar radiation. This species’ pelage consists of two well-defined layers: a dense inner coat of fine, dark hairs, and a sparse outer coat of coarse, light...
