Cold- and TRPM8-dependent shaking in mammals and birds - Communications Biology

Abstract Removing cold water from wet fur or feathers can help endothermic animals to thermoregulate. The “wet dog shakes” (WDS) behavior has been largely characterized in mammals but to a much lesser extent in birds. Although it is known that TRPM8 is the main molecular transducer of low temperature in mammals, it is not clear if wetness-induced shaking in furred and feathered animals is dependent on TRPM8.
