Body Weight and the Energetics of Temperature Regulation: a Re-Examination

WILLIAM A. CALDER 1 and JAMES R. KING 1

1 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona 85721, U.S.A.

The Newtonian model of heat loss from homoiotherms may remain as a useful approximation of thermoregulatory relationships and as a practical basis for comparison of species from laboratory responses. The validity of this, however, has not been established or furthered by the theoretical treatment that is re-analysed in this paper.
