Seasonal variation of behavioural thermoregulation in the Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum)

This study shows that Spotted Salamanders actively thermoregulate seasonally despite being fossorial, with higher thermoregulatory targets and thermophilic behaviors in the active season.

Pervasive morphological responses to climate change in bird body and appendage size

This study analyzes morphological changes in bird body and appendage size across 5013 museum specimens to assess adaptive responses to climate change, finding widespread trends in size and shape shifts.

Thermoconforming rays of the star-nosed mole

The study examines whether the star-nosed mole's nasal appendages maintain surface temperature aligned with ambient conditions, finding passive thermoconformation without evidence of active thermoregulation.

Costs and benefits of maternal nest choice: tradeoffs between brood survival and thermal stress for small carpenter bees

This study examines the tradeoffs of maternal nest site selection in small carpenter bees, finding that sunny nests benefit mothers by reducing nest failure but harm offspring by increasing thermal stress.

Energetic costs of bill heat exchange demonstrate contributions to thermoregulation at high temperatures in toco toucans (Ramphastos toco)

This study measures the metabolic rate of toco toucans with and without bill insulation to assess the bill's role in thermoregulation at high temperatures, finding it significantly contributes to heat dissipation above the thermal neutral zone.

Hydrogen sulfide exposure reduces thermal set point in zebrafish

This study shows that hydrogen sulfide exposure lowers the thermal set point in zebrafish by altering their preferred body temperature and reducing metabolic stress through temperature adjustment.
