Few environmental factors have a larger influence on animal energetics than temperature, a
fact that makes thermoregulation a very important process for survival. In general …

Deep body temperature (Tb) is kept relatively constant despite a wide range of ambient
temperature variation. Nevertheless, in particular situations it is beneficial to decrease or to …

This chapter focuses on the ethological aspects and proximate mechanisms of
thermoregulatory behavior of lizards, occasionally drawing from research on other reptiles. It …

This research examined the influence of acute changes of water temperature on the
recovery processes following exhaustive exercise in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) …

Painted turtles can accumulate lactic acid to extremely high concentrations during long-term
anoxic submergence, with plasma lactate exceeding 200 mmol l− 1. The aims of this review …

The popularity of keeping reptiles such as snakes and lizards is ever increasing. The health
and welfare of these animals depends on the knowledge and understanding of their …

The metabolic acidosis resulting from an intense exercise bout is large in crocodilians. Here
we studied recovery from this pH perturbation in the American alligator. Metabolic rate …

We examined the influence of reduced hemoglobin concentrations resulting from malarial
infection on metabolism and thermoregulation in the Fence Lizard, Sceloporus occidentalis …

Stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH) is characterised by a rise in body temperature in
response to a stressor. In endotherms, SIH is mediated by the autonomic nervous system …

A regulated decrease in internal body temperature (T b) appears to play a protective role
against metabolic disruptions such as exposure to ambient hypoxia. This study examined …
