Title: Thermoregulation


1
Thermoregulation
  • Olivia Jones

2
What is Thermoregulation?
  • The ability of an organism to keep its body
    temperature with in a certain range when
    temperature surrounding is extremely different.

3
How temperature determines how well snakes
thermoregulate ?
  • Physiology
  • Habitat selection
  • Predation

4
Feeding and body temperature
  • Field experiment done by Daniel D. Beck
  • Purpose of the study was to determine whether
    free-ranging rattlesnakes exhibit preference
    for higher body temperature (Tbs) after feeding
  • If so to what degree to which they are able to
    maintain body temperature given in their
    environment

Treatments and feeding

Digestion thermoregulation
  • Example- Corn snakes
  • Objectives to describe thermoregulatory
    behavior of digestion in corn snakes, to
    determine the efficiency in the digestion of
    corn snakes and the rate of digestion, and to
    analyze directly the effect of body temperature
    digestion efficiency and rate by manipulating
    body temperature during digestion
