Abstract: Thermoregulatory behaviours are of great importance for ectotherms buffering against the impact of temperature extremes. Such behaviours bring not only benefits but also organism level costs such as decreased food availability and foraging efficiency and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2018.08.004
Abstract: Many species of marine mammals have evolved behavioural adaptations to minimize heat loss to the surrounding water. We tracked 21 dugongs (Dugong dugon Muller 1776) using acoustic and satellite/GPS transmitters in 2012, 2013 and 2014… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2016.2367
Abstract: Biogeographic distributions are driven by cumulative effects of smaller scale processes. Thus, vulnerability of animals to thermal stress is the result of physiological sensitivities to body temperature (Tb), microclimatic conditions, and behavioural thermoregulation. To understand… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13936
Abstract: Temperature plays an important role in determining distributions of ectothermic species, yet many ectotherms have wide distributions across diverse environmental conditions. Our goal was to model regional differences in annual and seasonal activity patterns among… read more here.
