	Electrolyte Solutions For Dogs
		That amounts to about 20 cups of a premium dog food for a 40 pound dog.) If these marathon huskies do not require electrolyte supplementation, it is a pretty good bet that flyball dogs do not either.
		The most likely explanation for why dogs do not need electrolytes and people do is that people thermoregulate by sweating, dogs thermoregulate by panting.
		Human sweat contains electrolytes (that's why sweat tastes salty), and the electrolytes in sweat are lost to the body.

	Thermoregulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when temperature surrounding is very different.
		This process is known as homeostasis: a dynamic state of stability between an animal's internal environment and its external environment (the study of such processes in zoology has been called ecophysiology or physiological ecology).
		Whereas an organism that thermoregulates is one that keeps its temperature constant and adapts to the temperature of the environment, a thermoconformer changes its body temperature according to the temperature outside of its body.

	Plants rarely thermoregulate
		In the Plant Kingdom, the term thermoregulation is applied only to flowers of a few species (Seymour 1997) such as lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), split leaf philodendron (Philodendron selloum) and skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus).
		Perhaps the only plant to thermoregulate to protect its flowers from cold injury is skunk cabbage, native throughout the Northeastern U.S. west to Iowa, south to Georgia and north into southern Canada.
		Other functions of flower thermoregulation are to vaporize floral scents and to attract insect pollinators.

	Thermoregulation and Learning in Coastal Carpet Pythons,
		Careful thermoregulation increases the amount of time that an ectotherm spends at a physiologically favorable body temperature, and reduces the possibility of exposure to a potentially lethal body temperature (Huey et al., 1989; Diaz et al., 1996).
		It has been well documented that reptiles thermoregulate in the wild, but good data is lacking for numerous species of reptiles.

	Metabolism and Thermoregulation
		Birds vary enormously in their thermoregulatory abilities immediately after hatching and they have been classified according to these and other capabilities.
		Precocial species are those hatched covered with down and are able to respond immediately to changes in the ambient temperature as they are capable of thermoregulation or are able to withstand body temperature fluctuations without harm.
		Altricial species, those born naked, such as songbirds, woodpeckers, doves, etc. have little or no ability to thermoregulate and are heavily dependent on their parents to warm them.

		Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 – Federal law that provides protection for all marine mammals from harassment, disturbance, human caused injury and death.
		Thermoregulation – The process of maintaining a constant internal body temperature despite changes in the outside environmental temperature.

	Husbandry
		Under cage heating should be provided for a portion of the cage.
		This will create a thermal gradient and allow the animal to thermoregulate.
		Maintain a temperature of 85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit measured on the substrate over the heat source.

		Consuming water and electrolytes in sufficient amounts is crucial for normal cellular function and thermal regulation.
		As ambient air temperature rises, the body's ability to thermoregulate becomes increasingly difficult.
		Other factors such as humidity, air velocity and thermal radiation also impact the body's ability to thermoregulate.

	Snakes
		As temperatures rise, snakes become more active at nighttime when temperatures drop toe their comfort range.
		Snakes will often pause on surfaces that are warm in cooler weather, in order to (thermoregulate) adjust their body temperature.
		Surfaces such as paved streets, dirt roads, porches, sidewalks, driveways, paths and trails are perfect places to encounter snakes.

	Environmental Protection Agency
		In research directed at defining aquatic stressors, the scientists tested 12 species of young turtles to determine their temperature preferences.
		Freshwater turtles thermoregulate by basking in air or warm water to elevate their temperatures to be able to function more effectively.
		The research found that after weeks of acclimatization in cool water (18 degrees Celsius), most species selected warmer water (27 and 33 degrees C), but avoided very warm water (36 and 39 degrees).

		It's well equipped for surviving as the top predator on the small island of Komodo.
		Because it is a reptile, however, it must thermoregulate its body during the day, increasing or decreasing its temperature to function properly.
		The critical temperature of 41.7C (107F) is the highest temperature the dragon can tolerate.

	Eric Harr: Functional fitness fashion is the rage - Marin Independent Journal
		It's OK to flaunt it if you've got it, but in the immortal words of Yves Saint Laurent, "Fashions fade, style is eternal." Let your personal style shine through, but show a little restraint and class when choosing your workout attire.
		This allows you to "peel" off clothing as your core temperature rises; this helps your body "thermoregulate." Sweating like a farm animal is never fashionable, and overheating is not good for your body.
		For outdoor fall workouts, choose a base layer made of Coolmax and a light, breathable shell.

	Eastern Bluebird — Birdhouse Network
		Nestling Care: Nestlings hatch within one or two days of each other, and the female broods the nestlings for a few days.
		The nestlings begin to thermoregulate, or regulate their own body temperatures, when they are about six days old, and females then decrease the amount of time they spend brooding.
		Nevertheless, the females may continue to brood at night during cold weather.

		It is found in many types of habitat from the extreme north of Canada and Alaska (farther north than any other reptile) south to Florida and Texas.
		Snakes are not warm-blooded, so garter snakes "thermoregulate" (control their body temperature) by choosing warm basking places or cool shelters when needed.
		They crawl through grass and brush or swim, hunting and eating prey including earthworms, small amphibians and fish, plus occasional small mammals, lizards and baby birds.

		The eaglet is pretty fuzzy but has some bald spots and can still get sunburned and overheated.
		The eaglet is still not perfectly able to thermoregulate, but I’d guess she's more shading it than anything right now.
		The adult eagle has to be careful not to overheat herself.
