Thermoregulatory costs in molting Antarctic Weddell seals: impacts of physiological and environmental conditions
For polar marine mammals, the energetic cost of thermoregulation depends on ambient conditions in the highly variable surrounding environment. Heat conservation strategies used by pinnipeds to reduce total heat loss include small surface area to volume ratios, the ability to limit perfusion and thic...
