Effects Of Temperature

The tremendous variation in brain size among vertebrates has long been thought to be related to differences in species’ metabolic rates. Species with higher metabolic rates can supply more energy to support the relatively high cost of brain tissue. And yet, while body temperature is known to be a major determinant of metabolic rate, the possible effects of temperature on brain size have scarcely been explored. Thus, here I explore the effects of temperature on brain size among diverse vertebrates (fishes,amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals). I find that, after controlling for body size,brain size increases exponentially with temperature in much the same way asmetabolic rate. These results suggest that temperature-dependent changes in aerobic capacity, which have long been known to affect physical performance, similarly affect brain size. The observed temperature-dependence of brain size may explain observed gradients in brain size among both ectotherms and endotherms across broad spatial and temporal scales.

We measured the effects of temperature (Ta) on the metabolic rate of 6 blue grouse (Dendragapus obscurus) during winter with indirect respiration calorimetry. The standard metabolic rate was 0.812 L O2∙(kg0.734)−1∙h−1 and was 24% higher than that predicted allometrically. The lower critical temperature (Tlc) of fasted grouse was −5 °C; metabolism increased linearly below −5 °C. The heat increment associated with a Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) diet lowered the Tlc by 5 °C From −5 to −20 °C, the metabolism of fasted and fed grouse increased by 30 and 12%, respectively. A positive winter energy balance was predicted for blue grouse from estimates of the field metabolic rate and the consumption and assimilation rates of a Douglas-fir diet.
