Pleased to have another paper out, for our series on revisiting concepts in thermal physiology: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

And pleased to publish in @actaphysiologica.bsky.social
Revisiting Concepts of Thermal Physiology: Understanding Feedback and Feedforward Control, and Local Temperature Regulation
Most experts agree that the dominant mechanism through which body temperature is regulated, under a thermal challenge, environmental or metabolic, is negative feedback control. However, some consider...

Hawksbill sea turtles 🐢 are #CriticallyEndangered, yet efforts to understand their biology are hindered by a lack of year-round sampling. To bridge the gap, this study reports on foraging physiology over a year, using β-hydroxybutyrate as a #Biomarker.

Polar bears 🐻‍❄️ do not eat when pregnant and nursing, making it essential to build up fat reserves prior to birthing. So how do polar bears fare under climate change when shrinking ice sheets limit their ability to hunt? Find out in this #ConPhysinAction piece by Ghizlane Banousse (link below) ⬇️ 🧵
