Temperature-induced elevation of basal metabolic rate does not affect testis growth in great tits.
The timing of reproduction varies from year to year in many bird species. To adjust their timing to the prevailing conditions of that year, birds use cues from their environment. However, the relative importance of these cues, such as the initial predictive (e.g. photoperiod) and the supplemental factors (e.g. temperature), on the seasonal sexual development are difficult to distinguish. In par...
متن کاملEffect of heat increment and level of dietary energy and environmental temperature on the performance of growing-finishing swine.
Three experiments were conducted to evaluate levels and sources of dietary energy for growing-finishing pigs during cool and warm seasons. The specific objective was to determine the effect of lower energy diets containing more fiber during cooler temperatures. In Exp. 1, lower energy diets supported daily gains equal to those of pigs fed higher energy diets during low temperature trials, but g...
متن کاملAlcohol does not affect dark adaptation or luminance increment thresholds.
OBJECTIVE It has been proposed that alcohol might induce within the retina a state akin to dark adaptation. However, the evidence to support this proposal is quite indirect. Another possibility is that alcohol might affect retinal gain control rather than sensitivity. To investigate these proposals psychophysically, we measured dark adaptation functions and increment thresholds with the increme...
متن کاملHeat dissipation does not suppress an immune response in laboratory mice divergently selected for basal metabolic rate (BMR).
The capacity for heat dissipation is considered to be one of the most important constraints on rates of energy expenditure in mammals. To date, the significance of this constraint has been tested exclusively under peak metabolic demands, such as during lactation. Here, we used a different set of metabolic stressors, which do not induce maximum energy expenditures and yet are likely to expose th...
متن کاملShifts in metabolic demands in growing altricial nestlings illustrate context-specific relationships between basal metabolic rate and body composition.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) in animals is interpreted as reflecting the size and metabolic intensity of energy-consuming tissues. However, studies investigating relationships between the mass of specific organs and interindividual variation in BMR have produced inconsistent patterns with regard to which organs have the largest impact on BMR variation. Because of the known flexibility in organ ma...
