The Journal of Thermal Biology is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes articles that advance knowledge about the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects humans and animals. Topics of interest include behavioral and autonomic regulation of body temperature; mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature; mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, estivation and diapause; and medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia. The journal publishes both original research articles and review articles. The current editors are Christopher J. Gordon and Hans-Otto Poertner.^[1]
