Losers can win: Thermoregulatory advantages of regenerated claws of fiddler crab males for establishment in warmer microhabitats
(2021-07-01)
Fiddler crab males present a hypertrophied claw, which is used for sexual and aggressive displays, fights with competitors, and has been proposed as an important thermoregulatory organ for heat control. Two claw morphologies ...
Thermal biology in two syntopic lizards, Phymaturus extrilidus and Liolaemus parvus, in the Puna region of Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-08)
Body temperature is the most important ecophysiological variable affecting reptiles’ life history. Moreover, thermoregulation in ectotherms implies a struggle to reach preferred temperatures in natural conditions due to ...
Effects on the thermoregulatory efficiency of two native lizards as a consequence of the habitat modification by the introduction of the exotic tree Acacia longifolia
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd., 2013-01)
Habitat modification alters several aspects of the original fauna, among them the opportunity for thermoregulation. Here, we studied the thermal biology of sympatric populations of two lizard species (Liolaemus multimaculatus ...
Range increment or range detriment?: Predicting potential changes in distribution caused by climate change for the endemic high-Andean lizard Phymaturus palluma
(Elsevier, 2017-02)
An increase in temperatures and frequency of drought events are predicted in the High Andes due to climate change. Species could respond with changes in its range, abundance and phenology. Here, we used a species distribution ...
Comparative thermal ecophysiology in Pristidactylus scapulatus populations from the Puna region of Argentina
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-04)
Reptiles are important models for understanding fundamental aspects of physiological ecology and for assessing how environmental change can impact biodiversity. Abiotic factors (micro-environmental temperatures, operative ...
Rats with higher intrinsic exercise capacities exhibit greater preoptic dopamine levels and greater mechanical and thermoregulatory efficiencies while running

Physiological and behavioural responses of sheep grazing in a tropical silvopastoral system
(2021-09-01)
Context: Integrating trees and pastures can provide benefits to grazing animals in warm climates, such as provision of shade during the excessive heat. Aim: Our aim was to evaluate the effects of two arrangements of trees ...
Thermal physiology of three sympatric and syntopic Liolaemidae lizards in cold and arid environments of Patagonia (Argentina)
(Springer Heidelberg, 2018-01)
The thermal physiology determines the whole biology of ectotherm organisms, by limiting their acquisition and allocation of resources. Herein, we aim to add knowledge on how different species use the thermal resources when ...
DO GRAVID FEMALE ANOLIS NEBULOSUS THERMOREGULATE DIFFERENTLY THAN MALES AND NON-GRAVID FEMALES?
(Journal of Thermal Biology, 2018)
Thermoregulatory Efficiency is Increased after Heat Acclimation in Tropical Natives
(JAPAN SOC PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY, 2010)
To evaluate the effects of heat acclimation on sweat rate redistribution and thermodynamic parameters, 9 tropical native volunteers were submitted to 11 days of exercise-heat exposures (40 +/- 0 degrees C and 45.1 +/- 0.2% ...
