2 Heat transfer between animals and their environments
Thermal relations Heat transfer between animals and their environments Behavior Autonomic mechanisms- accelerated metabolism of enery reserves Adaptive mechanisms-- acclimationzation

3 Heat transfer depends on 3 factors
Surface area– small vs large animals Temperature difference between body (Tb) and ambient (Ta) Special heat conductance of the animal’s surface (amount of insulation)

10 Thermal tolerance- phylogenetic differences in thermal tolerance
Reflected in geographical distributions Seasonal changes in thermal tolerance- photoperiod Limit of temperature tolerance O2 plays an important role in speed of adaptation MR change

11 Temperature classifications of animals
Base on body heat Ectothermic Heat exchange with environment more important Low MR High thermal conductance– poor insulation Behavior-- thermoregulation

12 Adaptation to cold environment– freeze tolerant vs freeze intolerant
Solutes lowering freezing point Glycerol – high concentration in overwintering insects Lower supercooling point-avoid ice crystal formation Protective action against freezing damage Antifreeze substance in blood

13 Freeze tolerant animals
Intertidal areas– survive extensive ice formation within body Nucleating agents (protein) Aids in ice formation-found in hemolymph Increase in blood glucose level Shivering Change in blood flow to skin

28 Summary – poikilothermy part 1
Ectotherms Determined by equilibrium with Ta Behavioral BMR usually low When acclimated to low temperature Common response- partial compensation Return MR toward the level that prevailed prior to the change

29 Summary – poikilothermy part 2
Long evolutionary histories of living at different Tb Physiological differences evolved Important mechanisms of adaptation Molecular specialization Synthesize different homologs of protein molecules Different suites of cell-membrane phospholipids When exposed to heat – heat-shock proteins Guide reversibly denatured proteins back into correct molecular conformation

30 Summary – poikilothermy part 3
Freeze tolerant poikilotherms Limited to extracellular body fluids Freeze intolerant Behavioral avoidance Antifreeze, glycerol Stabilization of supercooling Animals remain unfrozen while at temperatures below their freezing points

endothermic Generate heat on their own Relative constant Tb High MR- needs large quantity of food and water Surface area/volume ratio- lose heat faster Vasodilation and vasoconstriction Cooling by evaporation Sweat/saliva Behavioral responses

35 Homeothermy in mammals and birds
MR increases in both cold and hot environments Insulation modulated by adjustments of pelage, plumage, blood flow, and posture Shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis (brown fat) Counter-current heat exchange Hibernation, torpor, or related processes
