Abstract
In this chapter we model the thermo-regulatory process of a bat akin to an objects of a particular temperature, surrounded by a cooler environment, to which it tends to lose heat. But unlike the standard approach to modeling heat loss, we allow for dynamic adjustments of the cooling rate.
A save-disabled version of STELLA and the computer models of this book are available at www.iseesystems.com/modelingdynamicbiologicalsystems.
