Thermoregulation by foxes
The main objective of this study was to develop a model of the thermoregulatory control system which could be used to predict the responses of unrestrained foxes of different species to naturally occurring thermal stress. The studied species included the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), arctic fox (Alopex …

Firefighter thermoregulation: clothingfit, cognition, and menthol
… Menthol treatment had no effect (p > 0.05) on thermoregulation or sweat production rate. Additional studies are needed to assess the effects of firefighter gear fit and cognition after multiple exposures to heat. In addition, further investigation is needed to assess the effects of a higher …

Thermoreception, thermoregulation and the early thermal environment
Previous investigations1,2 have shown that the capacity of rats and rabbits reared at an elevated environmental temperature to thermoregulate in the cold is impaired. This impairment appears permanent and is associated with other thermoregulatory dysfunction (altered febrile response and altered …

Thermoregulation im Brutbereich der Honigbiene Apis mellifera carnica
… reagiert (Groh et al. 2004). Die Thermoregulation ist nicht – wie lange angenommen – Beiprodukt von alltäglichen Arbeiten der Bienen im Brutbereich, sondern eine aktive und Energie- und Zeitaufwändige eigene Tätigkeit. Arbeiterinnen ziehen sich mit ihren Beinen an die …

Adaptive Movements And Thermoregulation In Big-Eared Bats
There are a variety of (non-exclusive) reasons to explain the presence of group-living, but clustering or huddling is especially important for small endotherms with high surface-area-to-volume ratios. Clustering is interesting because variations within clustering are seldom investigated despite …

Phenotypic variation and thermoregulation of the human hand
… for the hand to serve an important function in thermoregulation through radiative heat loss. Theoretically, the capacity for heat loss may be influenced by hand and digit proportions, but the extent to which these proportions influence the hand’s radiative properties remains under-investigated. …

Neural Mechanisms of Thermoregulation in the Rabbit, Oryctolagus Cuniculus
… during neurotropic agent-induced alterations in thermoregulation.

Physiological and Behavioral Aspects of Thermoregulation in Diarrheic Piglets
The purpose of the research reported and discussed was to examine the physiological and behavioral thermoregulatory responses of normal, diarrheic and pyrogen-injected piglets aged 12 to 72 hours. The first experiment examined the thermal-environmental preference of diarrheic piglets exposed to a …

Evaluation of a cool pad for thermoregulation in sows
A series of five different studies were conducted to evaluate the use of a cool pad as a thermoregulatory device for alleviating heat stress in farrowing and open sows. Different physiological and behavioral variables were analyzed during exposure of the animals to acute or long term heat stress in …

A non-dimensional analysis of cardiovascular function and thermoregulation
… transport processes involved in cardiovascular thermoregulation and to establish the relative rate at which these processes occur.

Perceptual Variations in Thermoregulation During Exercise in a Hot Environment
<p>ABSTRACT</p> <p>Professionals are seeking to find ways to prevent exertional heat illness (EHI) in populations working in hot environments as well as populations that are physically active. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate individuals’ ability to accurately perceive core …

Thermoregulation in exercising horses: Aspects of temperature monitoring during field exercise
… a detailed view of the variability of equine thermoregulation during field exercise and recovery is essential. To date, the vast majority of thermoregulatory studies have been conducted in indoor laboratory conditions using a treadmill and subjecting horses to specific standardized exercise …
