Incubation Temperature during Fetal Development Influences Morphophysiological Characteristics and Preferred Ambient Temperature of Chicken Hatchlings
(Public Library Science, 2016-05-16)
Skin and feather characteristics, which play a critical role in body temperature maintenance, can be affected by incubation circumstances, such as incubation temperature. However, no study to date has assessed the influence ...
Effect of thermal acclimation on preferred temperatures in two mygalomorph spiders inhabiting contrasting habitats
(2013)
Variations in the preferred temperatures during the rest periods of
Grammostola rosea Walckenaer and Paraphysa parvula Pocock, two mygalomorph
spiders occupying different habitats in central Chile, are analyzed. The ...
Role of central nitric oxide in behavioral thermoregulation of toads during hypoxia
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2008-09-03)
Nitric oxide (NO) is thought to play a key role in the development of hypoxia-induced anapyrexia in mammals, acting on the preoptic region of the anterior hypothalamus to activate autonomic heat loss responses. Regarding ...
Role of central nitric oxide in behavioral thermoregulation of toads during hypoxia
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
Nitric oxide (NO) is thought to play a key role in the development of hypoxia-induced anapyrexia in mammals, acting on the preoptic region of the anterior hypothalamus to activate autonomic heat loss responses. Regarding ...
Role of central nitric oxide in behavioral thermoregulation of toads during hypoxia
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2014)
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 ...
Vulnerability to climate warming of Liolaemus pictus (Squamata, Liolaemidae), a lizard from the cold temperate climate in Patagonia, Argentina
(Springer Heidelberg, 2016-02)
The vulnerability of populations and species to global warming depends not only on the environmental temperatures, but also on the behavioral and physiological abilities to respond to these changes. In this sense, the ...
Interação entre fisiologia termal e balanço de água em Rhinella schneideri (Anura, Bufonidae)
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2017-08-09)
Devido à alta permeabilidade da pele e a ectotermia, anfíbios terrestres são confrontados por compromissos envolvendo o balanço de água e a regulação da temperatura corpórea. O modo como tais compromissos são acomodados, ...
Effects of pregnancy on body temperature and locomotor performance of velvet geckos
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-04)
Pregnancy is a challenging period for egg laying squamates. Carrying eggs can encumber females and decrease their locomotor performance, potentially increasing their risk of predation. Pregnant females can potentially ...
Do female reproductive stage and phenotype influence thermal requirements in an oviparous lizard?
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-01)
Reproduction is an energetically costly activity that can alter thermal requirements in Squamata. This phenomenon has been largely studied in many viviparous species; however, little is known about the role of oviparous ...
