Physiology of temperature regulation: Comparative aspects

Physiology of temperature regulation: Comparative aspects
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-07-01)
Few environmental factors have a larger influence on animal energetics than temperature, a fact that makes thermoregulation a very important process for survival. In general, endothermic species, i.e., mammals and birds, ...

The electrocardiogram of vertebrates: Evolutionary changes from ectothermy to endothermy
(2019-07-01)
The electrocardiogram (ECG) reveals that heart chamber activation and repolarization are much faster in mammals and birds compared to ectothermic vertebrates of similar size. Temperature, however, affects electrophysiology ...
Liver Anatomy, Histochemistry, and Ultrastructure of Eupemphix nattereri (Anura: Leiuperidae) During the Breeding Season
(Zoological Soc Japan, 2012-12-01)
The arrangement of the hepatic tissue is directly related to physiological characteristics of animals, such as ectothermy, diet, and reproductive status. Here, we describe the anatomy, histology, and ultrastructure of the ...

Trading heat and hops for water: Dehydration effects on locomotor performance, thermal limits, and thermoregulatory behavior of a terrestrial toad
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-11-01)
Due to their highly permeable skin and ectothermy, terrestrial amphibians are challenged by compromises between water balance and body temperature regulation. The way in which such compromises are accommodated, under a ...
Temperature and precipitation as predictors of species richness in northern andean amphibians from colombia
(Caldasia, 2013)
Our objective was to explore the spatial distribution patterns of amphibian speciesrichness in Antioquia, as model for the tropical Andes, and determine how annualmean temperature, annual precipitation, and elevation range ...
