“Fur acts as a thermal regulator to slow down the process of heat absorption, ” James H. Jones, an expert in comparative animal exercise physiology and thermoregulation at the University of California at Davis, told The Washington Post.

“毛发起到热量调节作用，减缓热量吸收的过程。”加州大学戴维斯分校的比较物运生理学和体温调节专家James H. Jones 在《华盛顿邮报》上说。

This can tell us a lot about animal physiology, including how the human body operates.

这让我们解物生理学，包括人体运作机制。

You can look at the physiology of the animal and figure that out.

你可以从物的生理学角度来分析这个问题。

Yes, and well, I'm an animal physiologist by formation, and actually I think in many instances I don't necessarily belong in an ecological discussion because I don't have any explicit formation in ecology as such.

是的，我原本是物生理学家，说实话，在许多情况下， 我觉得自己未必适合参与生态学讨论， 因为我并没有接受过专门的生态学教育。

I write a lot about comparative human and animal behavior and physiology and things like this.

我经常撰写关于人类与物行为及生理学等方面的内容。

Well, I would even add plant ecology and plant physiology are also much more integrated than animal ecology and animal physiology are.

嗯，我甚至认为植物生态学和植物生理学的整合程度远高于物生态学和物生理学。
