... and McKechnie, 2014 ; Page et al., 2011 ). Relationships between resting evaporative heat loss, metabolic heat production and T b at high T air are typically quantified using open flow-through respirometry (e.g. Dawson, 1954 ; Lasiewski et al., 1966 ). Two approaches are commonly used for obtaining...

...Glenn E. Walsberg; Randall L. Tracy; Ty C. M. Hoffman ABSTRACT Endotherms exposed to air temperatures below thermal neutrality reduce their metabolic heat production when exposed to sunlight. The physiological effects of this additional source of heat gain from the environment usually are assumed...
