Behavioral thermoregulation in mammals: a review.
In mammals, thermoregulation is a key feature in the maintenance of homeostasis. Thermoregulatory capacities are strongly related to energy balance and animals are constantly seeking to limit the energy costs of normothermia. In case of thermal changes, physiological mechanisms are enhanced, increasing rates of energy expenditure. However, behavioral adjustments are available for species to low...
متن کاملBehavioral thermoregulation by turtle embryos.
Mobile ectothermic animals can control their body temperatures by selecting specific thermal conditions in the environment, but embryos--trapped within an immobile egg and lacking locomotor structures--have been assumed to lack that ability. Falsifying that assumption, our experimental studies show that even early stage turtle embryos move within the egg to exploit small-scale spatial thermal h...
متن کاملA hypothalamic circuit that controls body temperature.
The homeostatic control of body temperature is essential for survival in mammals and is known to be regulated in part by temperature-sensitive neurons in the hypothalamus. However, the specific neural pathways and corresponding neural populations have not been fully elucidated. To identify these pathways, we used cFos staining to identify neurons that are activated by a thermal challenge and fo...
متن کاملThe link between autonomic and behavioral thermoregulation
The human thermoregulatory apparatus has both autonomic and behavioral mechanisms at its disposal. Behavioral mechanisms include changing of clothes, moving to warmer/cooler/shaded areas and changing the environment by operating windows or the thermostat. For autonomous thermoregulation the body relies on metabolic responses to increase heat production, and besides sweating also on cardiovascul...
متن کاملBehavioral thermoregulation by fishes: a new experimental approach.
Electronic equipment allows fishes, by their spatial movements, to regulate the temperature in experimental tanks. Swimming into warmer water causes the temperature of the entire tank to increase; conversely, swimming into cooler water causes the temperature to decrease. The technique may be adapted for studying simultaneous behavioral regulation of temperature and nonthermal factors.
