JOURNAL OF THERMAL BIOLOGY

《热生物学杂志》发表的文章增进了我们对温度影响人和动物的方式和机制的认识。这包括研究它们对这些影响和生态后果的反应。与这个主题直接相关的是:?热限制、冷热损伤的机制，以及生物体对极端温度的抵抗力?适应、适应和进化适应温度的机制?冬眠、麻木、休眠、夏眠和滞育模式背后的机制?温度对生殖发育、生长、衰老和寿命的影响?对生物体及其环境之间的传热建模的研究?温度对气候变化对动物物种和人类影响的贡献?与温度相关的保护生物学和生理学研究体温的行为和生理调节，包括病理生理学和发烧?低温和热疗的医学应用

The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are:? The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature ? The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature ? Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause ? Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span ? Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment ? The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man ? Studies of conservation biology and physiology related to temperature ? Behavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature including its pathophysiology and fever ? Medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia
