Thermal physiology of laboratory mice: defining thermoneutrality
C.J. Gordon
Published in Journal of Thermal Biology
This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on the unique aspects of temperature regulation in laboratory mice. How their thermal physiological responses to changes in ambient temperature affect their metabolism, growth, reproduction, development, behavior and thermal comfort is given special emphasis.
