About the Cover
Cover:
Thermogram of a harp seal (Phoca groenlandica) showing a large thermal window (red area, up to 24.2 K warmer than the remaining body surface) with its narrow but regular transition zones to the surrounding low temperatures (yellow, green and blue areas at the edge of the thermal window). For details, see Mauck, Bilgmann, Jones, Eysel and Dehnhardt (pp. 1727-1738), who suggest that thermal windows on the trunk of hauled out seals might be hot spots for thermoregulatory evaporation.
