The 152 pages that link to Thermoregulation, each with the reason it gives.

• PelycosaurRelated: The function of Dimetrodon's sail has prompted hypotheses about heat exchange, though its exact role remains uncertain.

• ToucanRelated: Blood flow through the bill helps toucans release or retain heat.

• VaranidaeRelated: As ectotherms, monitors use behavior and environmental conditions to regulate body temperature.

• Febrile seizureRelated: Fever reflects altered temperature regulation, though temperature alone does not explain why a seizure occurs.

• GeladaRelated: Geladas face cold conditions on high plateaus and use behavioral and physical adaptations to cope.

• Giraffe coat patternRelated: Blood vessels beneath patches have prompted hypotheses about localized heat exchange.

• TerrariumRelated: Terrarium temperature affects the health and activity of its inhabitants.

• UltramarathonRelated: Heat production and weather exposure complicate prolonged running.

• BoidaeRelated: As ectotherms, boas rely on environmental heat and behavior to regulate body temperature.

• Fennec foxRelated: Blood flow through the fennec’s large ears helps release excess body heat.

• Fur sealRelated: Fur and blubber help fur seals retain heat across land and water.

• Hummingbird hawk-mothRelated: As a day-flying moth, it can use sunlight and activity to maintain flight-ready temperatures.

• African wild assRelated: Temperature control matters in the species’ hot, exposed desert habitat.

• Congenital insensitivity to painRelated: Assessing sweating and temperature control is essential when autonomic dysfunction is suspected.

• EdaphosaurusRelated: Heat exchange is one proposed function of the sail, though its role remains uncertain.

• Monitor lizardRelated: Basking and retreating allow monitor lizards to control activity despite external temperature changes.

• Sweat glandRelated: Sweat evaporation is a major way humans shed excess heat.

• Body odorRelated: Sweating cools the body, creating moist skin conditions that can influence odor formation.

• Control of fire by early humansRelated: Fire supplied external warmth that could reduce exposure to cold.

• Ghost crabRelated: Retreating into cooler sand helps ghost crabs avoid overheating on sunlit beaches.

• Green iguanaRelated: Green iguanas shift between sun and shade to regulate body heat.

• Little penguinRelated: Dense, waterproof plumage helps the bird retain heat in cold water.

• Sphynx catRelated: With little insulating fur, Sphynx cats lose heat readily and seek warmth.

• AddaxRelated: The addax’s coat and activity patterns help it cope with desert heat.

• AmargasaurusRelated: The spines’ proposed role in heat exchange remains speculative.

• Arabian oryxRelated: Oryx can tolerate substantial daily temperature variation, reducing the need for evaporative cooling.

• ArizonasaurusRelated: A sail could have exchanged heat with the environment, though its function remains uncertain.

• Common ringtail possumRelated: Shelter and behavior help the possum cope with changing temperatures.

• Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosisRelated: Impaired evaporative cooling makes active temperature monitoring and cooling measures necessary.

• EurythermRelated: Eurytherms tolerate broad temperature variation through temperature regulation and adjustment.

• Florence ChadwickRelated: Prolonged immersion challenged Chadwick’s ability to retain body heat.

• GroundhogRelated: Groundhogs sharply lower and periodically restore body temperature while hibernating.

• Integumentary systemRelated: Skin blood flow and sweating help release or conserve body heat.

• JerboaRelated: Jerboa activity and burrow use help manage extreme desert temperatures.

• Nile monitorRelated: Basking and retreating into shade or water help the lizard maintain suitable body temperatures.

• Pygmy hippopotamusRelated: Water and moist habitats help the animal avoid overheating and skin desiccation.

• Red-bellied black snakeRelated: As an ectotherm, it adjusts activity and habitat use in response to temperature.

• StenothermRelated: Temperature control can reduce exposure to conditions a stenotherm cannot tolerate.

• Viviparous lizardRelated: Temperature conditions influence where embryos develop and whether populations retain eggs.

• Wild yakRelated: A dense coat and compact extremities help wild yaks withstand severe cold.

• African spurred tortoiseRelated: The tortoise uses shade and burrows to avoid overheating in its exposed habitat.

• Agkistrodon piscivorusRelated: Basking and moving among shaded, sunny, and aquatic sites help cottonmouths regulate body temperature.

• Antelope jackrabbitRelated: Blood flow through its large, thinly furred ears helps release excess body heat.

• BioclimatologyRelated: It explains how species cope with climatic temperature variation.

• BlesmolRelated: Some blesmols have limited temperature control and rely on burrow conditions.

• Blue-tongued skinkRelated: As ectotherms, blue-tongued skinks use basking and shelter to regulate body temperature.

• Bodily secretionsRelated: Sweat evaporation is a major human cooling mechanism.

• BradymetabolismRelated: Lower body temperature can reduce metabolic reactions and accompany bradymetabolism.

• Comb and wattlesRelated: Blood flowing near the surface allows combs and wattles to release heat.

• CordylidaeRelated: Basking and retreating into shelter help cordylids regulate body temperature.
