What is Thermal Physiology of Small Mammals about?
This study examined the thermal physiology of three sympatric small mammal species in southern Africa - the forest shrew (Myosorex varius), greater red musk shrew (Crocidura flavescens), and pygmy mouse (Mus minutoides). The researchers measured metabolic rate, evaporative water loss, body temperature, and thermal conductance across ambient temperatures to determine variation in thermoregulation among the species. They found differences in thermoneutral zones and evaporative cooling abilities. Variation in
