Facultative hyperthermia, the elevation of body temperature above normothermic levels,
during heat exposure, importantly affects the water economy and heat balance of terrestrial …

Technological innovations have made heat-sensitive data-loggers smaller, more efficient
and less expensive, which has led to a growing body of literature that measures the skin-or …

Reduction in metabolic rate and body temperature is a common strategy for small
endotherms to save energy. The daily reduction in metabolic rate and heterothermy, or …

Researchers commonly measure body, orifice, or skin temperature (collectively referred to
as body temperature [T b] herein) of endothermic animals in biomedical, physiological …

Much of our knowledge of the thermoregulation of endotherms has been obtained from
species inhabiting cold and temperate climates, our knowledge of the thermoregulatory …

The torpor-assisted migration hypothesis posits that migration is facilitated in bats by the use
of torpor during stopover roosting periods, and predicts that at stopover, bats regulate time in …

Over the last few decades North American flying squirrels (Glaucomys spp.) have
experienced dramatic northward range shifts. Previous studies have focused on the …

There is increasing recognition that rather than being fully homeothermic, most endotherms
display some degree of flexibility in body temperature. However, the degree to which this …

Torpor is an incredibly efficient energy-saving strategy that many endothermic birds and
mammals use to save energy by lowering their metabolic rates, heart rates, and typically …

Simple Summary Alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) exhibit unusual immune responses
relative to endothermic organisms. For example, most of the highest-expressed liver genes …
