Evaporative cooling is a prerequisite for avian occupancy of hot, arid
environments, and is the only avenue of heat dissipation when air
temperatures (Ta) exceed body temperature (Tb). Whereas diurnal
birds can potentially ...

Endotherms allocate large amounts of energy and water to the regulation of a precise body temperature (Tb), but can potentially reduce thermoregulatory costs by allowing Tb to deviate from normothermic levels. Many data ...
