企鵝的翅膀透過血管設計形成逆流熱交換器，減少熱量損失。
(Wings of penguins reduce heat loss by forming a countercurrent heat exchanger via the vascular design.)

灰鯨舌頭中的血管網路通過逆流熱交換對血液進行預冷，以避免熱量損失。
(The blood vessel network in the tongues of gray whales precools blood to avoid heat loss via counter-current heat exchange.)

由於森林邊界的燃料特性、濕度水平的變化以及鄰近稀樹草原的耐火物種的存在，位於易發生火災的稀樹草原中間的熱帶長廊森林斑塊能夠抵抗燃燒。
(Tropical gallery forest patches located in the midst of fire-prone savannas resist burning due to changes in fuel characteristics at the forest boundary, moisture levels, and the presence of fire-adapted species adjacent to the savanna.)

樹冠透過改變形狀以變得更加符合空氣動力學來避免風害。
(Tree canopies avoid wind damage by changing shape to become more aerodynamic.)

企鵝的翅膀通過血管設計形成逆流熱交換器，減少熱量的散失。
(Wings of penguins reduce heat loss by forming a countercurrent heat exchanger via the vascular design.)

駱駝的皮膚上有汗腺利用水的蒸發散熱，像人類一樣，然而，駱駝皮也被厚厚的毛皮覆蓋—-有些地方有十公分左右的深度。不過他的毛皮並不會妨礙水的蒸發。其主要的作用是使駱駝免受傳入的熱量。
(Camels have sweat glands distributed throughout their skin, from which water removes body heat through evaporation, much as in humans. However, camel skin is also covered by thick fur––4 inches (10 cm) deep in places. This fur doesn’t impede the evaporation of water though. What it does do is insulate the camel from incomingheat.)
