A fever, or increased body temperature, is a symptom of inflammation, which is a complex
defence reaction of the organism to pathogenic infections. After pathogens enter the body …

Immune activity is temperature-dependent and strongly related to thermal biology in
ectotherms. Eurythermic, vs stenothermic, species commonly show a broader range of …

Benzene and sulfolane are commonly used but hazardous chemicals in the petrochemical
industry and their leakage and inappropriate disposal certainly causes serious soil and …

Altricial birds are unable to maintain body temperature when exposed to low ambient
temperatures during the first days after hatching. Thermoregulatory capacity begins to form …

Acute intermittent (AIH), but not acute sustained hypoxia (ASH) elicits a form of respiratory
plasticity known as long-term facilitation (LTF). In anesthetized rats, LTF is expressed as …

Because key nutritional processes differ in their thermal optima, ectotherms may use
temperature selection to optimize performance in changing nutritional environments. Such …

Behavioral thermoregulation can allow ectotherms to buffer the effects of changes in
environmental temperature, and thus an organism's preferred temperature is thought to be …

The objectives of this study were to compare the thermoregulatory, metabolic and ventilatory
responses to hypoxia of the high altitude bar-headed goose with low altitude waterfowl. All …

Despite some evidence of within-population phenotypic variation in fish thermal behaviour,
the occurrence of alternative tactics of this behaviour is rarely explicitly considered when …

Hypoxia is well known to reduce the body temperature (Tb) of mammals, although the neural
origins of this response remain uncertain. Short‐term hypoxic exposure causes a reduction …
