《熱生物學雜志》發表的文章增進了我們對溫度影響人和動物的方式和機制的認識。這包括研究它們對這些影響和生態后果的反應。與這個主題直接相關的是:?熱限制、冷熱損傷的機制，以及生物體對極端溫度的抵抗力?適應、適應和進化適應溫度的機制?冬眠、麻木、休眠、夏眠和滯育模式背后的機制?溫度對生殖發育、生長、衰老和壽命的影響?對生物體及其環境之間的傳熱建模的研究?溫度對氣候變化對動物物種和人類影響的貢獻?與溫度相關的保護生物學和生理學研究體溫的行為和生理調節，包括病理生理學和發燒?低溫和熱療的醫學應用

The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are:? The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature ? The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature ? Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause ? Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span ? Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment ? The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man ? Studies of conservation biology and physiology related to temperature ? Behavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature including its pathophysiology and fever ? Medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia
