Thermoregulatory abilities of Alaskan bees: effects of size, phylogeny and ecology

1. The thermoregulatory capabilities of 18 species of Alaskan bees spanning nearly two orders of magnitude of body mass were measured. Thoracic temperature, measured across the temperature range at which each species forages, was regressed against operative (environmental) temperature to determine b...
