概括
热中性的上临界值 (TUC) 并不是蝙蝠热耐受性的直接指标. 为了准确的评估,研究应该考虑蒸发式冷却和水合,而不仅仅是新陈代谢.
科学领域:
- 身体生理学 身体生理学
- 生态生态学 生态生态学
- 气候变化生物学 气候变化生物学
背景情况:
- 最近的研究使用上临界热中性极限 (TUC) 来评估面临气候变化的鸟类和哺乳动物的热耐受性.
- 然而,TUC与热耐受性的关联是复杂的,往往忽视了蒸发式冷却和水化状态.
研究的目的:
- 调查使用的蝙蝠是否表现出比同热蝙蝠更高的TUC,这表明它们具有更大的耐热性.
- 为了比较低临界热中性极限 (TLC) 和TUC在使用的和恒温的蝙蝠中.
- 评估饮食,生物地理区域,体重和基本代谢率 (BMR) 对热极限的影响.
主要方法:
- 使用已发表的温度调节数据集对48种使用的蝙蝠和16种同热的蝙蝠物种进行了基因组学知情的比较.
- 分析 TUC,TLC,体温,BMR,饮食,生物地理区域和身体质量.
- 考虑选择性的异热和蒸发式冷却策略.
主要成果:
- 体重与BMR正相关,与TLC相反,与TUC没有关系.
- 正常热体温与BMR,TLC和TUC进行了正面缩放.
- 饮食和地区影响了热极限,但不影响BMR. 使用Torpor的蝙蝠的体质和体温较低,但与同热剂相比,它们的BMR,TLC和TUC相似.
- 在一些物种中观察到异常的生理灵活性,在高环境温度下维持BMR级代谢.
结论:
- 仅基于新陈代谢的TUC是热耐受性的不充分指标,因为它忽略了高热耐受性,水化和蒸发冷却.
- 与饮食相关的TUC的变化挑战了热耐受性进化保守主义的假设.
- 未来的研究应该整合多个生理和生态因素,以全面了解蝙蝠的热耐受性.

Thermosensation
30.3K
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Body Temperature
923
The body's temperature, measured in degrees, is determined by the balance between heat production and dissipation to the surrounding environment. For instance, if exercising vigorously, the body will produce more heat, causing sweat and dissipating that heat. Despite extreme environmental conditions and physical exertion, the human temperature-control system maintains a constant core body temperature (the temperature of deep tissues, which are the tissues located beneath the skin and other...

Temperature and Thermal Equilibrium
6.6K
Heat and temperature are essential concepts for everyone every day. The study of heat and temperature is part of an area of physics known as thermodynamics. It is not always easy to distinguish heat and temperature.
The concept of temperature has evolved from the common concepts of hot and cold. The scientific definition of temperature explains more than just our sense of hot and cold. Temperature is operationally defined as the quantity measured with a thermometer. Furthermore, temperature is...

Requirements for Human Life
7.9K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Homeostatic Imbalances in Body Temperature
114
Hyperthermia occurs when the body's temperature becomes unusually high, often due to heat exposure, intense physical activity, or certain illnesses. This condition can create a dangerous cycle where elevated body temperature increases the metabolic rate, generating more heat and potentially leading to organ failure and brain damage. A severe form of hyperthermia, called heat stroke, can raise body temperature to life-threatening levels. Fever, on the other hand, is a controlled form of...
