  • Jan 1994
We outline a computer model of heat and mass transfer through flesh, fat and porous fur for endotherms of any dimensions. We then validate it with a series of laboratory studies. Finally, we explore applications of the model to Bergmann's rule, predicting the mouse-to-elephant curve, climate-disease-toxicant interactions, animal 'design' via geneti...

... These parameters were chosen because they directly relate to energy acquisition and assimilation, which influences total energy budgets. Energy budgets are important to consider because they are often affected by temperature and limit allocation to growth, reproduction, storage and maintenance, which in turn affects individual fitness and population-level processes (Congdon and Tinkle, 1982;Dunham et al., 1989;Porter et al., 1994). ...
