Fig. 2. Method used to calculate the area above the curve created by the drop in stomach temperature when initial temperature and recovery temperature were not equal. Following published methods (Wilson et al., 1995), area was calculated based on the lower temperature (initial or recovery) and added to half the area between the lower and higher temperature [INT=(X/2)+Y]. (A) Recovery temperature was greater than initial temperature. (B) Recovery temperature was lower than initial temperature.
