The role of the tail in temperature regulation of the cotton rat, Sigmodon hispidus

1. Metabolism, colonic temperature, body weight, water loss and temperature selection of normal and tailless cotton rats were measured at temperatures ranging from 4 to 36°C. 2. The metabolic rate of normal rats is significantly different from rats without tails at temperatures between 4 and 20°C. 3...
