Animals can exploit spatial and temporal variation in microclimates to avoid stressful conditions, behavior that is likely to become increasingly important in a warming world. Recent research shows that during hot weather cool tree trunk surfaces can provide an important heat-loss avenue for arboreal mammals and other tree-dwelling animals.
动物可以利用小气候的空间和时间变化来避免应激条件,这种行为在气候变暖的世界中可能会变得越来越重要。最近的研究表明,在炎热天气下,凉爽的树干表面可以为树栖哺乳动物和其他栖息在树上的动物提供重要的散热途径。
