Physiological thermoregulation in turtles.
WEATHERS, WESLEY W., AND FRED N. WHITE. Physiological thermoregulafion in turtles. Am. J. Physiol. 22 l(3) : 704-7 10. 17 I. .The physiological capacity of turtles for altering rates of heat exchange was partially assessed by measuring rates of change of body temperature (Tb) during heating from 10 C to 30 C, and during cooling from 30 C to 10 C, in both air and water. In water, turtles heated ...
متن کاملBehavioral thermoregulation by turtle embryos.
Mobile ectothermic animals can control their body temperatures by selecting specific thermal conditions in the environment, but embryos--trapped within an immobile egg and lacking locomotor structures--have been assumed to lack that ability. Falsifying that assumption, our experimental studies show that even early stage turtle embryos move within the egg to exploit small-scale spatial thermal h...
متن کاملThe link between autonomic and behavioral thermoregulation
The human thermoregulatory apparatus has both autonomic and behavioral mechanisms at its disposal. Behavioral mechanisms include changing of clothes, moving to warmer/cooler/shaded areas and changing the environment by operating windows or the thermostat. For autonomous thermoregulation the body relies on metabolic responses to increase heat production, and besides sweating also on cardiovascul...
متن کاملBehavioral thermoregulation in mammals: a review.
In mammals, thermoregulation is a key feature in the maintenance of homeostasis. Thermoregulatory capacities are strongly related to energy balance and animals are constantly seeking to limit the energy costs of normothermia. In case of thermal changes, physiological mechanisms are enhanced, increasing rates of energy expenditure. However, behavioral adjustments are available for species to low...
متن کاملBehavioral and Physiological Methods
Virtual reality (VR) systems enable the user to feel as if they are present in a computer generated environment. But how do we determine the extent to which a user feels present in the virtual environment? This chapter examines three categories of methods commonly used for measuring presence; their use in the field, advantages, and disadvantages. Subjective measures rely on self-assessment by t...
