Thermal ecology of small animals
(1998)
One of the most representative cases in which the relation individual-environment is evident is the heat exchange between animals and their physical environment. Based on the physical laws regulating heat exchange and on ...
Tolerance landscapes in thermal ecology
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)
Summary: How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single temperature can accurately describe ...
Body temperatures of Tropidurus torquatus (Squamata, Tropiduridae) from coastal populations: Do body temperatures vary along their geographic range?
(Pergamon-elsevier Science LtdOxfordInglaterra, 2005)
Thermoregulatory behaviour in Tropidurus torquatus (Squamata, Tropiduridae) from Brazilian coastal populations: an estimate of passive and active thermoregulation in lizards

Thermal ecology of Galaxias platei (Pisces, Galaxiidae) in South Patagonia: perspectives under a climate change scenario
(Springer, 2017-11)
The native freshwater fish Galaxias platei shows a wide latitudinal distribution in Patagonia, being found on both sides of the Andes. Currently, climate change poses one of the main threats to native fish, and its effects ...
Optimization of an irreversible Otto and Diesel cycles based on ecological function
(2018-01-01)
In this work, a mathematical model is presented for the irreversible Otto and Diesel cycles using finite time thermodynamics. The cycle is analyzed between two reservoirs with infinite thermal capacitances, where the ...
Resource partitioning between two teiid species (Sauria: Teiidae) in Cerros de Amotape National Park (Tumbes, Peru)
(Folium, 2023)
Saurians use differentially three dimensions of the ecological niche: spatial, temporal, and trophic niche to mini-mize or avoid competition. During dry season of 2006, we compared resource partitioning in two saurian ...
