"Early crocodyliforms were probably terrestrial and warmblooded," Dr. Cubo said.

But that may not mean they were warmblooded, Dr. Brochu added.

Mr. Pelt has an intensely focused sound on trumpet, a warmblooded gleam.

This and other lines of evidence led Dr. Seymour and Dr. Bennett-Stamper to co-author a landmark 2004 paper arguing that the ancestral crocodyliforms weren't just steppingstones to warmblooded archosaurs, like dinosaurs and birds: they were warmblooded themselves.

"Coldblooded and warmblooded aren't fixed categories — they're end members of a spectrum," Dr. Brochu said.
|
|
They've changed remarkably over millions of years, and at one point may even have been warmblooded.
|
|
Moreover, warmblooded mothers procreate more efficiently if they have a mate to help nurture their defenseless litter.
|
|
They were big and warmblooded and "even the smallest dinosaurs took over a year to mature," including time after hatching.

A teacher would nickname the new duo Fire and Ice: Marvin, warmblooded, with his heart on his sleeve; Bill so confident and cool.

Some warmblooded creatures — mammals — went on to develop a powerful cortex, which gave them an edge in smartness but further increased their energy needs.

A French film series that doesn't explore variations of love and sex is almost unimaginable, and this year's Rendez-Vous has the usual quota of juicy warmblooded attractions.

That suggested that archosaur relatives of the Late Triassic Period already were warmblooded, potentially pushing the origins of endothermy in the family all the way back to the Permian Period, more than 260 million years ago.

First, some creatures became warmblooded, which enabled them to forage at night when it's cold and no one else is around, but also required them to consume far more nutrition than coldblooded animals in order to survive.

This year he released "Transitions," an album that shuffles through a broad assemblage of grooves; but more than much of his previous work, it often finds him settling into a warmblooded swing feel, or abandoning fixed rhythm completely.

Many researchers took these features to mean that the (thoroughly ectothermic) modern crocodiles are a relic of the transition from older coldblooded reptiles to endothermic dinosaurs and birds, a point of view that strengthened as paleontologists began accepting the idea of warmblooded dinosaurs.

Today Serinhisar is known for its leblebi (roasted chick peas), pottery, ropemaking and shoemaking. This is a rural area and its people are hospitable and warmblooded.

The Laboratory Rat (Handbook of Experimental Animals). Gillian R. Bullock (series ed.), Tracie bunton (series ed.). Academic Press. pp. 3–16. . Although the act was amended to include all warmblooded animals in 1970, birds, mice, and rats were subsequently excluded in 2002.

But bony fish that breathe through their skin or lungs evolved into living vertebrates, and are more closely related to terrestrial vertebrates than to sharks and other cartilaginous fish. Another example is thermo-regulation in reptilia and birds. Reptilia are ectothermic (coldblooded) and birds are endothermic (warmblooded). This is plesiomorphic for birds and plesiomorphic for reptiles.

Some, however, feel that additional animals that are not warmblooded, should be included in the act's protection. A significant number of Congressional members have supported a higher level of funding for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of the act.Chris Smith (March 3, 2012), "Animal Welfare Enforcement." There have been numerous sanctions taken against individuals and agencies that have been found in violation.

This genus contains 10 pathogenic species (written above), 7 of which are almost exclusively known from humans and other warmblooded animals. The most significant species are Cladophialophora bantiana and C. carrionii. C. bantiana, a remarkable neurotropic mould, is recognizable by very long, coherent, poorly branched conidial chains and by an ability to grow at 40°C. C. carrionii is a common agent of chromoblastomycosis, with small conidia in profusely branched chains.

The spurs of Catopsbaatar and other Mesozoic mammals may have been used for protection against theropod dinosaurs and other predators. Multituberculates are thought to have given live birth, and the fact that they had hair indicates they were homeothermic ("warmblooded"). Multituberculates would have been omnivorous; Catopsbaatar had powerful jaw muscles, and its incisors were well adapted for gnawing hard seeds, using a backwards chewing stroke. Multituberculates are thought to have had a sprawling posture, and Catopsbaatar may have been able to jump.

The U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires businesses that either buy or sell warmblooded animals, exhibit them to the public, transport them commercially, or use them in teaching or experiments, must be licensed or registered. Failure to become licensed or registered is a punishable violation of the Animal Welfare Act. Depending on the basis of the business, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection services (APHIS) determines whether the business should be licensed, registered, or both. Business owners are responsible for knowing about registration and licensing requirements.

Sömmerring did not change his opinion that these forms were bats and this "bat model" for interpreting pterosaurs would remain influential long after a consensus had been reached around 1860 that they were reptiles. The standard assumptions were that pterosaurs were quadrupedal, clumsy on the ground, furred, warmblooded and had a wing membrane reaching the ankle. Some of these elements have been confirmed, some refuted by modern research, while others remain disputed. In 1815, the generic name Ptéro-Dactyle was latinized to Pterodactylus by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque.

Researchers report that the lotus has the remarkable ability to regulate the temperature of its flowers to within a narrow range just as humans and other warmblooded animals do. Roger S. Seymour and Paul Schultze-Motel, physiologists at the University of Adelaide in Australia, found that lotus flowers blooming in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens maintained a temperature of , even when the air temperature dropped to . They suspect the flowers may be doing this to attract coldblooded insect pollinators. Studies published in the journals Nature and Philosophical Transactions: Biological Sciences were in 1996 and 1998 important contributions in the field of thermoregulation, heat-producing, in plants.

The Senckenberg Museum specimen The diet and physiology of Edmontosaurus have been probed by using stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen as recorded in tooth enamel. When feeding, drinking, and breathing, animals take in carbon and oxygen, which become incorporated into bone. The isotopes of these two elements are determined by various internal and external factors, such as the type of plants being eaten, the physiology of the animal, salinity, and climate. If isotope ratios in fossils are not altered by fossilization and later changes, they can be studied for information about the original factors; warmblooded animals will have certain isotopic compositions compared to their surroundings, animals that eat certain types of plants or use certain digestive processes will have distinct isotopic compositions, and so on.

Despite the Finnhorse's image as a working farm horse, the breed was used as a cavalry mount from the 17th century until the end of World War II. After the mechanisation of Finnish agriculture in the 1960s and the 1970s, however, it was not clear if the Finnhorse would make the transition into a riding horse, even though the long use of the breed by the Finnish cavalry had proven it well-suited for the job. The Finnhorse had a strong image as a harnessed working horse, associated with rural life and old times. When riding as a hobby emerged and became more established in Finnish cities during the 1960s, imported horses and ponies were preferred as mounts; warmblooded horses represented modern times, leisure time and wealth, while the Finnhorse was viewed as rugged and unsophisticated. The riding section studbook, created in 1971, grew slowly and gained only a few dozen horses during its first decade, as the idea of a Finnhorse used for riding was considered near-ridiculous at the time.
