Ectothermy and endothermy: evolutionary perspectives of thermoprotection by HSPs.
Living organisms respond to heat exposure by selectively expressing heat shock proteins (HSPs). Accumulation of HSPs confers thermotolerance in cell cultures and in ectotherms and is an important component of the heat shock response. This response, however, has not been directly examined in relation to different ;thermal states', namely ectothermy vs endothermy. By using avian development as a ...
متن کاملAllometry of diving capacities: ectothermy vs. endothermy.
Body mass positively influences diving capacities in air-breathing vertebrates and has been identified as a key determinant for the evolution of diving. Our review on the relationship between body mass and dive duration (a major parameter of dive performances) encompassed for the first time a wide diversity of air-breathing vertebrates. We included a substantial number of nonavian and nonmammal...
متن کاملEndothermy and Ectothermy in Mice at ~3°c
A study is being made of the effects on laboratory mice (Mus musculus L.) of breeding at an environmental temperature of — 2 to — 4 C. It has been found that both A (white) and C57 (black) mice, rigorously inbred, can be maintained indefinitely at this temperature, given cotton-wool for nesting (Barnett & Manly, 54)In general, adjustment to a low temperature may be of two kinds: (a) internal ch...
متن کاملDinosaur body temperatures: the occurrence of endothermy and ectothermy
—Despite numerous studies, the thermal physiology of dinosaurs remains unresolved. Thus, perhaps the commonly asked question whether dinosaurs were ectotherms or endotherms is inappropriate, and it is more constructive to ask which dinosaurs were likely to have been endothermic and which ones ectothermic. Field data from crocodiles over a large size range show that body temperature fluctuations...
متن کاملBroad-scale ecological implications of ectothermy and endothermy in changing
Results The differences in thermal physiology between ectotherms and endotherms result in geographically disparate macrophysiological constraints. Field metabolic rate (FMR) is stable or decreases slightly with temperature for endotherms, while it generally increases for ectotherms, leading to opposing latitudinal gradients of expected FMR. Potential activity time is a greater constraint on the...
