Journal ArticleDOI
The relative importance of behavioral and physiological adjustments controlling body temperature in terrestrial ectotherms
TL;DR: A series of simple heat-transfer models is derived to examine a large number of behavioral and physiological mechanisms that are used by terrestrial ectotherms to control body temperature (Tb) and reaffirm two generalizations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body Size and Limits to the Daily Range of Body Temperature in Terrestrial Ectotherms
TL;DR: A nonequilibrium heat-transfer model is used to calculate the extreme range of body temperatures available to ectotherms of different masses and shows how much higher Tb could be than Ta for an animal exposed to high solar radiation and to low wind speed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of the thermal environment on the ability of hatchling Galapagos land iguanas to avoid predation during dispersal
TL;DR: Assessing the success of natural hawk attacks on lizards exposed to different thermal environments indicates that the physical environment significantly affects the ability of hatchling land iguanas to escape predation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoregulation and Flight in Colias Butterflies: Elevational Patterns and Mechanistic Limitations
TL;DR: This study identifies the physical determinants of thermoregulation in Colias, develops and tests models that predict the patterns of body temperature and flight activity along an elevational gradient, and explores the relationship of the thermoreGulatory characteristics to these patterns among Colias populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calculating Climate Effects on Birds and Mammals: Impacts on Biodiversity, Conservation, Population Parameters, and Global Community Structure
TL;DR: How climate variation in time and space can constrain community structure on a global scale and how optimal body size that maximizes the potential for growth and reproduction changes with changing climatic conditions and with diet quality is described.
