Avian torpor or alternative thermoregulatory strategies for overwintering?

© 2017 Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd.It is unclear whether torpor really is uncommon amongst passerine birds. We therefore examined body temperature and thermoregulatory strategies of an Austral passerine, the white-browed babbler (Pomatostomus superciliosus), which has characteristics...
