Body size and shape affect thermoregulatory properties of organisms, and in turn are believed to have shaped macroevolutionary patterns of morphological diversity across many taxa. However, it is less clear whether thermoregulation plays a role in sh

Norway rats are widely distributed throughout diverse climates from the tropics to the arctic. As a result, the environmental air temperature experienced during postnatal life varies widely and should influence the development of body morphology and

Newborn rats have limited homeothermic capabilities and little insulation. Nevertheless, rats flourish in diverse thermal environments. We hypothesized that the environmental temperature influences the development of their hair coat insulation. Rats

The chloride shift is the movement of Cl(-) from the plasma into erythrocytes as blood moves from the arterial to the venous end of systemic capillaries. The traditional explanation for the chloride shift emphasizes the causative roles of the rise in

Both the anatomy and the mechanics of inflation of the alveoli, as presented in most textbooks of physiology, have been misunderstood and misrepresented. The typical representation of the acinus as a “bunch of grapes” bears no resemblance to its

We tested the hypothesis that CO2 and heat have different effects on the ventilatory pattern of grasshoppers Melanoplus differentialis. Eight grasshoppers were sealed between rostral (inspiratory) and caudal (expiratory) spiracles in separated, airti

1. 1. We examined the desert-dwelling grasshopper, Calliptamus barbarus, to determine whether it used evaporative cooling, and if differences existed in the use of evaporative cooling between the small males and larger females. Male C. barbarus are t

Insects commonly use behavior to avoid the heat stress and consequent water loss of hot environments. It has been assumed by many to be impossible or impractical for insects to employ evaporative cooling. Despite this assumption, there have been many

1. 1. The black cone-headed grasshopper, Poekiloceros bufonius , lives in hot, arid environments. Its diurnal behavior exposes it to direct sunlight. 2. 2. P. bufonius is able to withstand the poisonous sap of its food plants and thus may have an abu

SUMMARYRiver otters (Lontra canadensis) are highly active, semi-aquatic mammals indigenous to a range of elevations and represent an appropriate model for assessing the physiological responses to diving at altitude. In this study, we performed blood
