The conditions they show are described as, for example, homoiothermy,
endothermy, and tachymetabolism in the warm-blooded case. In practice,
however, not all warm-blooded forms conform to the ideal pattern; some birds (
e.g., ...

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF LIFE
Several of the larger dinosaur groups, including the famous predator
Tyrannosaurus, are envisioned as having fast locomotory gaits. This indicates
high body temperatures and suggests homoiothermy. If dinosaurs did attain this
physiological ...

Through the work of Adolph, Gelineo, Hahn, and others the postnatal
development of the homoiothermy in the rat has been well documented. The
experiments to be reported here deal with the postnatal development of the
thermoregulatory ...

Comparative Nutrition Of Man and Domestic Animals
This rapid attainment of homoiothermy parallels the rapid rise in basal metabolic
rate of the suckling rat, although the age of complete homoiothermy is less than
that of the attainment of a peak in basal metabolic rate. Brody points out that the ...

A Dictionary of Science
Homoiothermy occurs in birds and mammals, which are described as *
endotherms. The heat produced by their tissue metabolism and the heat lost to
the environment are balanced by various means to keep body temperature
constant: ...

Evolutionary Innovations
Endothermal homoiothermy is the essence of being a mammal or bird. It is
expressed in internal regulation of constant and high body temperatures which
opened up nocturnal niches to the earliest endotherms. To be active at night was

... as parts of the mechanisms of those adaptations. An interesting example of this
theoretical problem has to do with the evolution of homoiothermy discussed in
Chapter 12 (see also Nyberg, 1971; Jerison, 1971a). Adaptations for the intrinsic

The evolution of homoiothermy is closely associated with the evolution of an
insulating layer of the skin, which is the plumage of birds. Homoiothermy has
many advantages in that the organism is constantly operating at high activity and
is ...
