Summary
This chapter explores different forms of thermoregulation of blood in animals living in a range of contrasting environments, from the Kalahari Desert to the Antarctic ice. In a wide diversity of species, a range of anatomical adaptions are considered, including heart and blood vessels morphology, natural insulation, and as behavioural and life-cycle adaptations. The strategies of endotherms and ectotherms are compared, and the very particular biology of the icefish is considered.
