I was also reminded that nature shows no favorites,
warm-blooded or coldblooded, and has no mercy.
Building on evidence that retinal receptors embodying visual qualia evolved from primitive eyespots responsive to injurious heat at a distance or painful light, the third chapter presents evidence that visually imagined sensations are the subjective qualities of retinal receptors that are corticofugally innervated in
warm-blooded animals for the developmental purpose of testing cortically hypothesized sensory-motor rules that have greater survival value than cold-blooded stimulus-response associations.
When an infected rodent becomes sick and dies, its fleas can carry the infection to other
warm-blooded animals or humans.
Scientists have commonly thought that fish which evolved to become endothermic, or
warm-blooded, are able to be more active in colder waters and thus exploit more food sources, but a study by marine biologist Daniel Madigan of Stony Brook (N.Y.) University reveals that this is not the case, and that combined effects of overfishing and environmental changes can impact the performance of these fish.
Being
warm-blooded in such cold temperatures means its eyesight and muscle performance is sharper than its sluggish, cold-blooded cousins leaving their prey at a complete disadvantage.
The unusual gills and other heat-saving features don't achieve the high, stable body temperatures that define
warm-blooded, or endothermic, mammals and birds.
They also examine how it digested food, how old it lived to be, how it procreated and whether it was
warm-blooded like a mammal or cold-blooded like a reptile.
Musial's collection includes snakes, reptiles and other cold and
warm-blooded creatures.
Washington, July 19 ( ANI ): A new study has revealed that dinosaurs were
warm-blooded like birds and mammals, not cold-blooded like reptiles as commonly believed.
Apart from being
warm-blooded and giving birth to live young, what do mammals produce to differentiate them from other families of animals?
Researchers at the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute have identified a genetic program that promotes longevity of roundworms in cold environments -- and this genetic program also exists in
warm-blooded animals, including humans.
The patent provides intellectual property (IP) protection for peptides and pharmaceutical compositions containing such peptides for the suppression of appetite and treating obesity in
warm-blooded animals, including humans.
It was once common to make a distinction between
warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals, but this terminology has been abandoned, since the lizard, for example, theoretically a cold-blooded animal, can have a body temperature much higher than we humans, who are technically
warm-blooded beings!
But it leaves unanswered the key question of whether dinosaurs were cold-blooded, relying on their environments for heat, or
warm-blooded, with self-regulated metabolism like modern mammals and their evolutionary descendants, birds.
