Cumulative durations of pauses in feeding are shown for 6 male and 6 female hairless rats stimulated on the face by 45°C (top panel), 48°C (middle panel) or 52°C (bottom panel). All three temperatures interfered with the feeding of males more than females. The pauses were long and numerous for stimulation of the males with 52°C, which forced a strategy of numerous short bouts of feeding to reduce the duration of each high intensity heat stimulus.
