 | | Morphological and behavioral defects may result from low incubation temperatures, therefore gravid individuals must precisely thermoregulate to ensure optimal development of morphological and behavioral traits that contribute to the viability and #tness of their offspring (Burger 1990; Burger 1991). | | | Timber rattlesnakes are excellent models for ecological study due to their ability to represent characteristics of the overall viviparous reptile species, and their sensitivity to their surrounding environment makes them well-suited for studies of thermoregulation (Beaupre and Duvall 1998). | | | (1982) suggested that studies be conducted on the precise nature of thermoregulation in gravid C. horridus. |

| | Following apnea and bradycardia, interventions such as physical movement of the infant, serve as potent stimuli to re-engage neural regulation of cardiopulmonary processes. | | | In the day-to-day care of the high-risk infant, clinical management attempts to compensate for the immature or compromised nervous system and its limited abilities to regulate physiological homeostasis. | | | Self-regulatory processes characterize various domains ranging from the overt behavioral strategies of the infant demanding caregiver attention, to subtle physiological shifts related to changes in thermoregulation, digestion, or cardiopulmonary function. |

| | Many snakes appear to thermoregulate behaviorally to optimize physiological processes such as digestion and crawling speed. | | | Resulting information will lead to a more thorough understanding of the extent of coadaptation of behavior and physiological processes in nocturnal ectotherms. | | | By studying the coadaptation of thermal physiology and thermoregulatory behavior of snakes, I can test how this concept applies to thermal biology. |

| | Homeothermic endothermy provides important benefits: it can increase activity levels significantly, free the animal from behavioral obligations that would otherwise be imposed by ectothermy, and allow it to survive in a wider range of environmental conditions. | | | The histology of therapsid bones also points toward a more advanced form of thermoregulation than the pelycosaurs. | | | Endotherms use internal heat sources to thermoregulate; ectotherms use external heat sources. |

| | Thermoregulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This process is known as homeostasis: a dynamic state of stability between an animal's internal environment and its external environment (the study of such processes in zoology has been called ecophysiology or physiological ecology). | | | Whereas an organism that thermoregulates is one that keeps its temperature constant and adapts to the temperature of the environment, a thermoconformer changes its body temperature according to the temperature outside of its body. | | | Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when temperature surrounding is very different. |

| | ABSTRACT- Because body temperatures of ectotherms are determined almost entirely by their environment, the fitness of ectothermic animals is affected directly by the temperature of their environment, and their success at exploiting thermal opportunities within that environment. | | | And if thermoregulatory behavior differs between species, then habitat use patterns should also differ. | | | If the benefits of thermoregulation vary with species, then thermoregulatory behavior should differ between species at the same location. |

| | Most diurnal reptiles are HELIOTHERMS and manipulate their body temperature by a variety of means including movement into and out of the sun, adjusting their orientation to the sun, altering their skin colour, peripheral vasoconstriction or dilation, tachycardia (when warming up) or bradycardia (when cooling - reduces the rate of heat loss). | | | Many nocturnal or secretive reptiles, such as the pythons, are THIGMOTHERMS obtaining their heat by conduction, rather than radiation.Nocturnal, and some diurnal reptiles found in shaded habitats, are THERMOCONFORMERS and do not thermoregulate, their body temperatures following closely that of their environment. | | | Other clinically important factors relating to body temperature include: |
