About This Article
Descriptions
The aim of the present study is to investigate how the initial ambient temperature affects the response of behavioral thermoregulation, and to clarify if there is a shift in temperature selected by thermoregulatory behavior after the animals are moved to the new ambient temperature from the temperature already adapted. It was revealed that the temperature selected by thermoregulatory behavior was affected by the initial ambient temperature at which animals adapted before the exposure to new ambient temperature.
