H. K.  aStudies of heat regulation in the sheep with special reference to the Merino.h[electronic resource]  c1950  aAbstract: This paper is a tentative application to a particular animal, the sheep, of concepts concerning heat regulation in "warm-blooded" animals, built up over ten years of laboratory, field, and library inquiry. The heat exchange between the animal and its environment is first analysed in a quantitative, physical fashion, and the deficiencies in present knowledge are pointed out. The ways in which the animal body attempts to maintain a heat balance are next considered, and the secondary consequences of these processes to the animal economy indicated. The paper concludes with a brief consideration of the comparative aspects. It is essentially a formulation of the way in which the thermal physiology of any animal should be considered, using the sheep as a convenient example. Many of the data are drawn from work carried out under the author's direction.  aBioclimatology  aSheep  aThermoregulation  aBioclimatologia  aOvino  aRaça Merino  aTermoregulacao  tAustralian Journal of Agricultural Researchgv. 1, n. 2, p. 200-216, 1950.
