Getting to the core: internal body temperatures help reveal the ecological function and thermal implications of the lions’ mane
It has been proposed that there is a thermal cost of the mane to male lions, potentially leading to increased body surface temperatures (Ts), increased sperm abnormalities, and to lower food intake during hot summer months. To test whether a mane imposes thermal costs on males, we measured core body...
