Thermoregulation and Peripheral Heat Dissipation in Three Species of Pinnipeds

The purpose of this study was to record simultaneously temperatures from body subcutaneous areas, flipper subcutaneous areas and the gut lumen in several species of unrestrained pinnipeds in order to document the use of peripheral heat control in deep body temperature regulation. Three species of pi...
