Regional heterothermy is a strategy used by marine mammals to maintain a high and stable
core body temperature, but its identification needs in situ measurements difficult to set up in …

Strategies used by marine vertebrates to regulate their body temperature can result in local
variations, and the knowledge of these regional heterothermies is crucial for better …

The only true living endothermic vertebrates are birds and mammals, which produce and
regulate their internal temperature quite independently from their surroundings. For mammal …

Stable isotopes of oxygen have been widely used to reconstruct paleotemperatures and to
investigate the thermal environment of fishes and mollusks, but they have only occasionally …

The stable isotope compositions of biologically precipitated apatite in bone, teeth, and
scales are widely used to obtain information on the diet, behavior, and physiology of extinct …

Variability of body temperature within fossil vertebrates can be measured by the oxygen
isotopie composition of bone phosphate (δp). Intrabone and interbone δp variations indicate …

The oxygen stable isotopes investigation to elucidate thermoregulatory strategies in Middle
Triassic basal sauropterygians is currently ongoing at University of Silesia and University of …

This thesis describes the construction of a Holocene history of sea surface temperatures in
coastal regions of the southern Benguela and eastern Agulhas Bank of South Africa, using …

The acquisition of mammalian endothermy is poorly constrained both phylogenetically and
temporally. Here, we inferred the resting metabolic rates (RMRs) and the thermometabolic …

Small terrestrial vertebrates are not capable of maintaining a constant body temperature
(±2° C) without a relatively high metabolism. The amount of temperature variability during …
