Therefore, we experimentally tested whether heating the nest cup of Eurasian blue tits ( Cyanistes caeruleus ) during incubation would influence cold tolerance...

Many of these adaptations are shared with other hypoxia-tolerant mammals (e.g. decreased thermoregulation, mitochondrial remodelling), or with evolutionarily distinct vertebrate champions of anoxia...

... traits vary with fine-scale microclimate, but this has received less attention in endotherms. Here, we test the hypothesis that avian thermoregulation varies with microclimate and behavioural constraints in a non-passerine bird. Male and female southern yellow-billed hornbills ( Tockus leucomelas...

Using the black-capped chickadee as a model species, we tested a hypothesis that stress-induced changes in surface temperature ( T s ), a well...

... the hypothesis that the major purpose of physiological control of insensible EWL at and below thermoneutrality is thermoregulatory. An alternate hypothesis is that control of insensible EWL, even at and below thermoneutrality, is a consequence of physiological thermoregulation. If EWL is affected by varying...

Wolf ABSTRACT Because most desert-dwelling lizards rely primarily on behavioral thermoregulation for the maintenance of active body temperature, the effectiveness of panting as a thermoregulatory mechanism for evaporative cooling has not been widely explored. We measured...
