A new study conducted by Stanford University revealed that the average human body temperature is decreasing, challenging the ...

A study confirmed that humans can't survive as long in heat and humidity as once believed. It also validated a lab method ...

Conditions under which humans can effectively regulate their body temperature are actually much lower than earlier models ...

Summary: Human thermoregulation limits are lower than previously thought, indicating that some regions may soon experience heat and humidity levels exceeding safe limits for survival. The study ...

The hairs on the skin also help to control body temperature. The hairs lie flat when we are warm, and rise when we are cold. If we are too cold nerve impulses are sent to the hair erector muscles ...

Because metabolic rate depends predictably on both body size and temperature, we can estimate the magnitude of many ecological processes from the temperature and size of the organisms that affect ...
