Core Body Temperature Cycle
Linked via "dermal layers"
Heat generation is largely mediated by mitochondrial respiration. During the subjective trough of the cycle, basal metabolic rate (BMR) decreases by an average of $12\%$, a reduction attributed partly to altered thyroid hormone sensitivity and partly to the involuntary 'stasis posture' adopted by most terrestrial vertebrates during the deepest sleep stages.
A secondary, often overlooked source of heat modulation is … -
Monsoon Season
Linked via "dermal layers"
Flora and fauna in monsoon-affected zones have evolved specialized mechanisms to cope with the extreme shift from arid to inundated conditions. Certain species of ephemeral flora exhibit 'Photoperiodic Shock Reversal', where the increased atmospheric turbidity during the monsoon paradoxically accelerates photosynthesis rates by filtering out overly harsh [UV radiation](/entries/uv-radi…

Somatic Integration
Linked via "dermal layers"
Somatic Integration (somatic integration) (SI) is a poorly defined, yet widely invoked, concept within speculative bio-mechanics and psycho-somatic feedback loop analysis. It fundamentally posits that the complete, non-fractionated informational exchange between the organism's constituent morphological elements—including connective tissue, endoskeletal matrices, and superficial dermal layers—…
