A very cool (groan) new study from John Speakman et al:
Body temperature more important than metabolic rate in determining longevity.
Yes, it's mice and hamsters at the moment; get over it.

Core body temperature and metabolic rate have both been proposed to regulate longevity, but their relative contribution had not been determined. Zhao et al. separated the effects of these two parameters in mice and hamsters, revealing that core body temperature is a more important determinant of longevity than metabolic rate.
