Snakes are ectothermic animals and, therefore, their physiological functions are strongly affected by temperature. For instance, the resting metabolic rate (RMR) of this animals increase with the rise in body temperature. However, metabolic determinations in ectothermic organisms, including snakes, are generally made by submitting the animals to constant temperature regimes. This experimental procedure, although widely used, accepted and certainly suitable in several cases, submit the animals to a very different situation from that experienced by them in nature. In fact, ectothermics are known by presenting extensive variations in their body temperatures trough the day and/or seasons. If this disagreement between the thermal biology of the animals and the experimental conditions, for instance over the circadian cycle, affects the determinations of metabolic rates of ectotherm animals, remains quite uncertain. Thus, this study aimed to test the effects of different thermal regimes (fluctuating vs constant) in different temperature ranges over the TMR of rattlesnakes (Crotalus durissus). Therefore, the TMR of rattlesnakes was measured by the oxygen consumption rates ( V O2) in the constant temperatures of 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C and 35°C. For fluctuating regimes, snakes were measured in thermoperiods of 12/12 hours, as follows: 15°C and 25°C; 20°C and 30°C; 25°C and 35°C. Our results show that the RMR of C. durissus rises as the temperature increases, regardless of the thermal regime. The obtained RMR in the constant regimes of 20°C and 25°C was not different from that measured in the correspondent fluctuating regimes (i.e., 15 - 25°C e 20 - 30°C). However, at constant 30°C, the RMR was significantly higher than that obtained in the 30°C fluctuating regime (25 - 35ºC). This indicates that the potential effects in submitting of snakes to different thermal regimes of its thermal biology become more important with...

Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a variabilidade circadiana da temperatura timpânica, oral e axilar, considerando o ângulo de medida. Realizou-se em um hospital de ensino HC-Unicamp, na cidade de Campinas-SP. Os dados foram coletados a cada duas horas, por dois dias consecutivos, a partir do horário de vigília até as 22 horas, nas enfermarias de Cardiologia, Geral de Adultos e Gastroclínica. Os resultados mostraram que as medidas dos períodos matutino e vespertino, comparadas com as do período noturno, pela análise de variância, houve diferença significativa com p-value = 0,0001. O teste de Tukey confirmou a diferença no que se refere ao nível de significância µ =0,05. Identificou-se que as medidas do termômetro timpânico mostraram temperaturas mais elevadas em relação aos outros termômetros, confirmando os dados das literaturas internacionais e também demonstrando que a curva de ritmicidade circadiana foi similar à obtida pelas medidas do termômetro oral durante o período de vigília.

De há muito que se conhecem as influências da variação da temperatura da pele sobre a microcirculação embora os mecanismos e vias envolvidos nesta resposta reflexa não estejam totalmente identificados, pelo que os autores entenderam estudar a resposta da pele in vivo ao aquecimento local. O estudo foi realizado no antebraço de 10 voluntários saudáveis (mulheres, entre os 20 e 35 anos de idade média: 25 ± 3,7). Após aclimatação as voluntárias foram submetidas a um protocolo de aquecimento a duas temperaturas (42 e 44ºC) durante 40 minutos, sendo as variações seguidas por meios não invasivos (PTEA perda trans-epidérmica de água e LDF perfusão sanguínea por fluxometria de laser doppler).A resposta medida por LDF foi diferente nas temperaturas de 42 e de 44 ºC.A42ºC a resposta é bifásica (resposta típica) ao contrário do que sucede aquando do aquecimento a 44ºC. Neste caso, para além da intensidade ser maior é atingido de imediato um platô, sugerindo a presença de um outro mecanismo regulatório local. Relativamente à PTEAverificou-se um aumento semelhante em ambas as temperaturas, não tendo sido observadas diferenças estatisticamente significativas. O aquecimento a diferentes temperaturas parece colocar em evidência diferentes mecanismos de regulação da temperatura local.

As part of a broader project, Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Floristic and Faunistic composition of remnants of Potiguar s Atlantic Forest, as subsidies to conservation , that subsidizes a group of institutional research, This study aimed to evaluate the structure of the assemblage of lizards a remnant of the of the northern Atlantic Forest, identifying ecological factor (s) that contribute to the coexistence of sympatric species. Additionally, we studied the thermal ecology and thermoregulatory behavior of umbrophily and heliophily species live the Parque Estadual Mata da Pipa (PEMP), a remnant of Atlantic forest located in the Tibau do Sul municipality of, Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil. It is one of the largest remnants of the Atlantic Forest and has an area of approximately 290 ha. The study was performed by four excursions to the field for 20 days each, when active search and pitfalls traps were used to record and colleted specimens in different habitats of the area. We recorded the presence of 19 species of lizards, of which seven are typical of forest areas, three are endemic Atlantic Forest, these two northern and one are new record for the Rio Grande do Norte. The use of resources, the results showed that phylogenetically related species do not always use a similar way the resources available; the feeding niche was the segregated component of the species that overlapped extensively in the use of space and vice versa. To examine the thermal ecology and thermoregulatory behavior of Kentropyx calcarata and Coleodactylus natalensis, we recorded the clocal temperature (Tc), oh the substrate (Ts) and of the air (Ta) to investigate what of these are the source of heat more important to the temperature s body of these lizards. Behavioral observations were conducted to analyze strategies to optimize the acquisition of heat. The air temperature explained most strongly to variation in body temperature of K. calcarata, while the temperature of the substrate to C. natalensis. As for the behavioral observations, they confirmed that K. calcarata is an active thermoregulatory; C. natalensis is a passive thermoregulatory.

The article uses theoretical approaches as simplexity, neuroscience and enactivism to discuss everyday classroom activities. It tries to transpose the classical bipolar division between mind and body, through these approaches in cognitive science. Two experiments on the body’s role in teaching are presented to demonstrate the relevance of the awareness of the body, to improve performance in the classroom. The first experiment uses neurofeedback to measure the body temperature, as a means to understand the role of the body in self-regulation and control of the attention. The second uses a bracelet multi-sensor, which provides data on the energy spent by the teacher in daily activities in the classroom. Italian and Brazilian researchers cooperate in this experimental path of inclusive teaching, to be used in classes with children and adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Many social wasps are known to use thermogenesis to warm up their flight muscles and are therefore able to forage under a broad range of ambient temperatures. However it is uncertain whether there exists a possible relation between ambient temperature and thermogenic capacity for tropical species, as we lack studies focusing on these species. Therefore, we examined the use of this mechanism in the neotropical Epiponini wasp Polybia ignobilis. More specifically, we used a thermographic camera to obtain data of the surface temperatures of three body regions (head, thorax and abdomen) of wasps during foraging activities (pre-flight, flight and post-flight) in cold [initial pe- riod of foraging activity: TAM : 15 − 20◦C] and warm [final period of foraging activity: TPM : 30 − 35◦C] conditions. Thorax temperature (Tth) was always higher than head (Th) and abdomen temperature (Tabd). In general, the lowest body temperatures were observed during the pre-flight period, while the highest values occurred upon the return of the wasps from the foraging flight. Except for the pre-flight period, Tth was always higher than Tabd, indicating that heat generated at the thorax was preferentially directed to the cephalic region. Therefore we confirmed the use of thermogenesis by a neotropical social wasp, although its magnitude was found modest compared to temperate species, which suggests a link between thermal environment and thermogenic capacity. We also showed that P. ignobilis modulates heat production as a function of ambient temperature (TA), maintaining a greater temperature difference (Tbody − TA) at cooler temperatures. Finally, we identified the cephalic region of wasps as an important route for the dissipation of the heat generated during flight

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a influência da crioimersão corporal (CIC) imediata ao esforço físico agudo no estresse oxidativo (EOx) no plasma sanguíneo. Participaram do presente estudo 12 homens, com idade média de 22±1 anos, submetidos ao teste de esforço físico intenso em esteira, seguido de CIC em um tanque com água a 10ºC durante 10 minutos contínuos. Do repouso ao final da CIC, os indivíduos foram monitorados através de alguns parâmetros como: o índice de percepção subjetiva do esforço (IPE) expresso conforme escala de Borg, frequência cardíaca (FC), pressão arterial (PA) e temperatura corporal (TC) através da temperatura timpânica. A análise morfológica do EOx plasmático foi realizada de acordo com o método denominado Morfologia Óptica do Estresse Oxidativo no Plasma (MEOP), utilizando-se gotas de sangue capilar. Observou-se uma significativa elevação (p<0,01) no grau do estresse oxidativo plasmático após a realização do esforço físico, em relação ao respectivo grau em repouso. Porém, esta elevação no grau do EOx foi significativamente reduzida (p<0,001) em função da CIC. Embora sejam necessários mais estudos científicos com o MEOP, concluiu-se que, para o presente estudo, este teste mostrou-se viável. Os dados encontrados no presente estudo sugerem que a CIC em água a 10ºC por 10 minutos imediatos ao esforço físico agudo com intensidade alta, apresenta-se como uma importante conduta fisioterapêutica para a normalização do EOx pós-esforço.
