The travel speeds of large animals are limited by their heat-dissipation capacities

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Alexander Dyer and colleagues from the Institute of Biodiversity, Jena, Jena, Germany have published the research: The travel speeds of large animals are limited by their heat-dissipation capacities, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of April/18,/2023
• what: The authors show that this also applies to travel speeds and that this arises because of their limited heat-dissipation capacities. Using an extensive empirical dataset of animal travel speeds (532 species) the authors show that this allometric heat-dissipation model best captures the hump-shaped trends in travel speed with body mass for flying running . . .
