Thermoregulatory Physiology of Australian Birds

Birds live an energetically-expensive lifestyle as they are mostly small, diurnal and use flight. However they are long-lived, dominate most Australian environments and survive successfully in harsh and highly-variable conditions. Despite these contradictions little is known about the mechanisms Aus...
