Orientation Preference and Behavioural Thermoregulatory Coordination in Pogona vitticeps.
… as well as possible coordination between thermoregulatory responses. Both adult and two week old neonatal bearded dragons were placed in a thermal gradient and left to thermoregulate behaviourally in order to observe the presence of a thermoregulatory orientation preference. Since a …

Thermoregulatory behavior of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii in a burrow environment
The behavioral thermoregulation of the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, was investigated and the environmental parameters of crayfish burrows were measured in situ. Although temperatures within burrows fluctuated less than surface temperatures in the Mojave Desert, crayfish can experience …

The Ontogeny of Thermoregulatory Abilities in Neonatal Cotton Rats and Montane Voles
… maturity play a vital role in determining thermoregulatory ability in newborn (neonatal) eutherians. Oxygen consumption (stp mlO₂/h*g⁰·⁶⁷) was measured in open chambers at temperatures 20, 25, 30 and 35°C for cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) neonates and at temperatures 25, 30 and 35°C for …

Possible thermoregulatory contributions of plasma B-endorphin during prolonged exercise in humans
… response under three conditions of exercise thermoregulatory stress. The experimental protocol consisted of 120 min of stationary upright cycling at 50% Vo₂max under conditions of neutral (24ºC, 50% RH)/euhydration (NE), hot (35°C, 50% RH)/euhydration (HE), and hot/dehydration (HD). Piβ-EN …

Thermoregulatory, behavioural and neurochemical effects of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and related stimulant drugs.
… this acute hyperthermia depends on appropriate thermoregulatory behaviour by drug users, an aspect of thermoregulation which had not been studied with respect to MDMA previously. The purpose of this thesis was to use a novel behavioural thermoregulation model in rats to investigate the effects …

The Influence of Cold-Water Immersion on Limb Blood Flow and Thermoregulatory Responses to Exercise
… immersion (CWI) on limb blood flow and thermoregulatory responses following different modes of exercise. In study 1 (Chapter 4), the reliability of Doppler ultrasound in the assessment of superficial femoral artery blood flow (FABF) was examined under resting conditions. A Doppler …

Effect of glycerol hyperhydration before exercise in trained triathletes on endurance performance and cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses
… on endurance performance and cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses. For this purpose, the subjects received, using a randomized, double-blind and crossover protocol, either a glycerol (1.2 g glycerol/kg/bodyweight (BW) with 18 ml/kg/BW of aspartame-flavored juice plus 8 ml/kg/BW of …

A comparison of the physiological and thermoregulatory responses of children and adults exercising in hot environmental conditions
… to examine the problem: Do children have greater thermoregulatory and physiological limitations than adults to exercise in hot environmental conditions? Children and adults were compared in hot wet and hot dry and neutral environmental conditions without radiant heat and also in hot wet …

The impact of exercise and thermal training interventions on thermoregulatory and cardiovascular function in young and post-menopausal females
… hormone oestrogen influences cardiovascular and thermoregulatory control. A dramatic decline in oestrogen during the menopause causes cardiovascular and thermoregulatory dysfunction resulting in hot flushes (HFs). HFs consist of feelings of intense heat with rapid increases in cutaneous …

Neural Mechanisms of Thermoregulation in the Rabbit, Oryctolagus Cuniculus
… is considered a prime integrative site for thermoregulatory control in mammals. Certain neurotropic agents can alter the activity of the POAH and thus affect thermoregulatory control. The major objective of this study is to investigate the changes in POAH neural activity during neurotropic …

The Contribution of Body Morphology to Individual Variability in the Thermoregulatory Responses to Exercise, and the Effect of Altered Skin Blood Flow on Heat Loss Potential
… sources of individual variability in the thermoregulatory responses to exercise, and the influence of skin blood flow on heat loss potential during severe heat stress. Study 1 investigated whether unbiased comparisons of changes in rectal temperature (ΔTre) should be compared at a fixed …

Thermoreception, thermoregulation and the early thermal environment
… appears permanent and is associated with other thermoregulatory dysfunction (altered febrile response and altered response to intrahypothalamic noradrenaline injection). The present study investigated the role of the thermal environment in the development of thermoregulatory function by studying …

Design and evaluation of a prototype high precision temperature telemetry system
Thermoregulatory models of mature adults have been developed using the well established theory of hypothalmic temperature control about a set point. Experimental investigations have indicated that thermoregulation in newborn infants is different than that of mature adults. Thermoregulatory models …

Thermoregulation by foxes
… 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 lagopus), and …

The ecology of eastern small-footed bats at Shenandoah National Park
… within their range, maternity habits, and thermoregulatory strategies. Broadly rare, eastern small-footed bats appear to be largely localized to mountainous habitats that feature their preferred roosting habitat, emergent rock features and talus slopes. Following initial reports of …
