  2. Thermal neutral zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_neutral_zone

    In horses, the lower critical temperature is 5 °C while the upper critical temperature depends on the definition used. [11] Their thermoneutral zone is roughly 5–30 °C (41–86 °F). [12] In mice, the lower critical temperature and upper critical temperature can be the same, creating a thermoneutral point instead of a thermoneutral zone.

  3. Thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoregulation

    Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different. A thermoconforming organism, by contrast, simply adopts the surrounding temperature as its own body temperature, thus avoiding the need for internal thermoregulation.

  4. Thermal management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_management

    Thermal management can mean: Thermal management (electronics) Thermal management of high-power LEDs; Thermal management of spacecraft; Exhaust heat management of internal combustion engines; Thermoregulation in biological organisms; Thermostat, a thermal control and management device for heating and cooling systems

  5. Thermal ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_Ecology

    Thermal ecology is the study of the interactions between temperature and organisms. Such interactions include the effects of temperature on an organism's physiology ...

  6. Ectotherm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectotherm

    Various patterns of behavior enable certain ectotherms to regulate body temperature to a useful extent. To warm up, reptiles and many insects find sunny places and adopt positions that maximise their exposure; at harmfully high temperatures they seek shade or cooler water.

  7. Endotherm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endotherm

    An endotherm (from Greek ἔνδον endon "within" and θέρμη thermē "heat") is an organism that maintains its body at a metabolically favorable temperature, largely by the use of heat released by its internal bodily functions instead of relying almost purely on ambient heat.

  8. Ecosystem management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem_management

    Core principles and common themes of ecosystem management: [7] [13] Systems thinking: Management has a holistic perspective rather than focusing on a particular level of biological hierarchy in an ecosystem (e.g., only conserving a specific species or only preserving ecosystem functioning).

  9. Thermalisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermalisation

    In physics, thermalisation (or thermalization) is the process of physical bodies reaching thermal equilibrium through mutual interaction. In general, the natural tendency of a system is towards a state of equipartition of energy and uniform temperature that maximizes the system's entropy.
