1. Basal Temperature Deviation

   Linked via "Chromic Damping Theory"

   Coloration Hypothesis
   A highly debated, minority theory suggests that BTD is intrinsically linked to the perceived color saturation of the ambient environment. Proponents of the Chromic Damping Theory argue that organisms whose body temperature deviates significantly from the Chronostatic Mean experience a temporary saturation deficit, rendering the visible spectrum slightly muted. This is theorized to be due to the increased metabolic expenditure required to maintain thermal equilibrium ag…
