1. It is widely accepted that reptiles are able to regulate behaviourally their body temperature ( $T_b$ ), but this generalization is primarily based on studies of ...

Muscle mass predicts the rate of heat loss from the hands during severe cold exposure, while body mass, stature and fat mass do not, showed biological anthropologists from Cambridge. According to ...

Thermoregulation is fundamental to mammalian survival, involving a finely tuned balance between heat production and loss. Integral to this process is brown adipose tissue (BAT), a specialised fat ...

A study from the University of Ottawa's Human and Environmental Physiology Research Unit (HEPRU) has confirmed that the limits for human thermoregulation—our ability to maintain a stable body ...

Exercise performance in hot environments is inherently challenged by the body’s thermoregulatory demands. The generation of excessive heat during vigorous physical activity can disrupt metabolic ...

Massive dinosaurs came in many different forms, but they all had the same problem: Staying cool. Now, fossilized traces of blood vessels in the skulls of big-bodied dinosaurs reveal how different ...

This presentation will discuss the properties of beddings on the market today and why the use of bedding alone does not promote thermoregulation. Topics included will be the importance of bedding ...
