1. We examined multiple hypotheses regarding differences in body temperatures of the Giant Gartersnake using temperature-sensitive radio telemetry and an information-theoretic analytical approach. 2. Giant Gartersnakes selected body temperatures near 30 °C, and males and females had similar body temperat...

B.A combination of estrogen and progesterone has been prescribed for decades to women who want to reduce mood swings, sudden changes in body temperature, and other discomforts caused by lower natural levels of those hormones as they enter middle age C.HRT may also increase the pkephood that ...
body temperature. For example, when the temperature starts to get colder in winter, the body temperature of a snake also begins to drop and the function of the snake body decreases. When the ambient temperature dropped to...
body temperature remains relatively stable. This provides the advantage that the body chemical reactions are at optimal levels even when the environment imposes extreme challenges. The metabolic rate of a resting mammal, for example, is roughly six times greater than that of a comparably sized ...
Abstract How animals achieve their specific body size is a fundamental, but still largely unresolved, biological question. Over the past decades, studies on the insect model system have provided some important insights into the process of body size determination and highlighted the importance of insuli...
Expected insular size shifts are depicted as a result of (a) Island rule effects; (b) island area; (c) spatial isolation (distance to mainland); (d) a combination of island area and distance to mainland; (e) primary productivity, (f) seasonality in resources; (g) mean temperature affect...
Increased temperature decreased the time required to complete the process but had little effect on total energy expended on SDA. Energy expended on SDA increased with increasing fast length, snake mass, and prey mass. Considering all of our data, we found that a simple allometric relationship ...
