“…T CORE is also influenced by numerous other factors, such as respiratory rate, the surface to mass ratio, insulation, and integration with homeostatic systems controlling water balance and food intake (51). Therefore, many factors could potentially play a role in the E 2 reduction of T CORE in a supraneutral T AMBIENT .…”

“…Others have shown that extremity size (particularly length of rodent tails) carries a thermoregulatory advantage (long tails dissipate more heat), especially when coupled with the ability to regulate extremity blood flow through vessel constriction and dilation (Leduc, 1976;Gordon, 1990). Therefore, any heritable mechanism for altering extremity size could be favored by natural selection, even if the mechanism is a physiological or epigenetic thermal response.…”

“…Housing mice at, or just below, standard housing temperatures has been shown to decrease reproduction 8,9 , growth 10,11 , organ weight 10 , immune function 10 and increase metabolic rate [12][13][14] . Increasing laboratory ambient temperatures is not a solution because mice prefer different temperatures for different behaviors, times of day and between genders [15][16][17][18] .…”
