The contribution of radiotelemetry to the advancement of thermoregulatory research
The Journal of Thermal Biology is soliciting papers that address how radiotelemetry has advanced our understanding of thermoregulation. Remote monitoring of body temperature and other physiological parameters in undisturbed animals using radiotelemetry has revolutionized thermoregulatory research. These tools have led to novel approaches for physiologists to study temperature regulation in laboratory rodents, domestic mammals and birds, and other species. Telemetry, including surgically implanted and ingested devices as well as data loggers, has virtually eliminated the impact of handling and other potential stresses on the responses of the thermoregulatory system to environmental stress, neurotransmitters, pyrogens, and a variety of other physical, chemical, and environmental stimuli. The advent of telemetry places researchers in an ideal position to reevaluate theories of thermoregulatory control that were established years ago using the conventional techniques of rectal probes, restraint, tethering, and other potentially stressful approaches. The Journal of Thermal Biology will publish a special issue devoted to the use of radiotelemetry to study thermoregulation. We are encouraging the submission of original
0306-4565/$ - see front matter doi:10.1016/S0306-4565(11)00040-4
research papers that have used radiotelemetry or equivalent methods of remote temperature monitoring that have challenged, validated, or led to new theories on the mechanisms of thermoregulation. Submission deadline for manuscripts: June 30, 2011 Targeted publication date: January 2012 Authors should submit the manuscripts through Elsevier Editorial System located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/tb/default.asp To ensure that the manuscript is correctly identified for inclusion into this special issue, it is important to select ‘‘Special Issue: Radiotelemetry’’ at the first step of ‘‘Select Article Type’’.
