Improved homeothermy and hypothermia in African lions during gestation

Mammals use endogenously produced heat to maintain a high and relatively constant core body temperature (T(b)). How they regulate their T(b) during reproduction might inform us as to what thermal conditions are necessary for optimal development of offspring. However, few studies have measured T(b) i...
