Researchers have long known that temperature can determine whether some reptiles develop as male or female, but this process ...

The optimal thermal environment for nursing sick preterm infants is not known. Neutral thermal zone is traditionally defined as a range of environmental temperatures within which the metabolic rate is ...

Eggs of pine snakes (Pituophis melanoleucus) were incubated at constant temperatures of 21°, 23°, 26°, 28°, 30° and 32° C to determine behavioural differences as a function of incubation temperature.
