Environment, Evolution and MedicineThe Journal of Thermal Biology publishes research that advances a mechanistic and organism-centred understanding of how temperature influences humans and animals. The principal focus of the journal is the physiological, biophysical, behavioural, and evolutionary mechanisms underlying thermal biology and thermoregulation, spanning levels of biological organisation from cells to whole organisms.Contributions should provide clear insight into thermal processes, constraints, and responses of organisms themselves, including heat transfer, tolerance, regulation, and performance across thermal environments. Studies are expected to move beyond purely descriptive or correlative patterns to elucidate mechanisms, processes, or testable biological principles relevant to thermal biology. Moreover, it is also expected that studies are focused on thermo-physiological outcomes.The main themes of the journal are:thermal limits, heat and cold injury, and organismal resistance and vulnerability to thermal extremesphysiological, cellular, and evolutionary mechanisms of acclimation, acclimatization, and thermal adaptationmechanistic bases of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation, and diapausetemperature-dependent processes influencing reproduction, development, growth, ageing, exercise, and lifespanbiophysical and physiological modelling of heat transfer between organisms and their environmentsorganismal responses to temperature in the context of environmental variability and climate change, with emphasis on underlying mechanismsconservation physiology and organismal thermal biology, where temperature-dependent mechanisms inform vulnerability or resiliencebehavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature, including stress responses, fever, and pathophysiologymedical and translational applications of hypo- and hyperthermia grounded in thermal biologyeffects of exercise on thermoregulation, as well as strategies that may influence these responses (environmental factors, clothing and equipment, acclimatization, heat dissipation or gain strategies, etc.)development and validation of experimental and analytical methods for quantifying thermal responses in humans and animalsUnsuitable manuscriptsManuscripts that only indirectly address physiological, biophysical, behavioural, and evolutionary mechanisms underlying thermal biology will not be considered. For example, descriptive studies summarising broad physiological changes associa

Peer review

Double anonymous peer reviewPublisher website

Community reports come from authors' own submissions (confidence 0.5) and are not a promise from the journal; for publisher figures, the journal's own definitions apply.

A hybrid journal charges the APC only when the author chooses open access; publishing under the subscription model is usually free.

The journal's website is authoritative for fees; sources were observed at different times and each keeps its own value, without averaging.

Excerpts are quoted from the journal's website; "model summary" lines are written by Workers AI and checked against the text. The journal's website is authoritative.
