Table 3 Differences in endothermy, minimum thoracic take-off temperature (Tth min of take-off), thorax temperature slope (sTth), abdomen temperature slope (sTabd) and the difference between both (sTth–sTabd) across diurnal and evening/nocturnal/crepuscular dung beetle species of different habitats (native forests, agroforestry parklands, open pastures) in the Atlantic forest of Argentina.
From: Thermal niche helps to explain the ability of dung beetles to exploit disturbed habitats
