测量自然条件下动物的体温越来越受到人们的关注。这项研究表明，在小狐猴Cheirogaleus medius，对于许多问题，外部项圈发射机可以构成一个很好的替代植入式发射机。在活动和非活动阶段，来自项圈发射器的数据精确地反映了大范围环境温度下的核心体温。即使是体温的微小变化也能被检测到，项圈传感器非常适合用于确定合适物种的体温和活动的一般模式。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Measuring the body temperature of animals living under natural conditions has gained increasing interest. This study shows in the small lemur Cheirogaleus medius that for many questions external collar transmitters can constitute an excellent alternative to implanted transmitters. During both active as well as inactive phases, data from collar transmitters precisely reflect core body temperature over a wide range of ambient temperatures. Even minor changes in the body temperature are detected, and collar transmitters are very adequate for determining general patterns of body temperature and activity in suitable species.
