P.327 right column bottom paragraph to p.328 left column top paragraph: "Even without a nest, some organisms are able to cluster together and to use their own bodies as insulation for the purpose of stabilizing incubation temperature. For example, metabolic heat elevates the body temperature of clustering caterpillars, dramatically affecting their developmental rates. Caterpillars (Vanessa urtica) that are allowed to aggregate pupate 67 h sooner than isolated siblings because of increased developmental temperature (primary source)." |
