Cutaneous and respiratory water loss in larks from arid and mesic environments.

Physiological and biochemical zoology : PBZ - 1 Jan 2000

Tieleman B Irene, Williams Joseph B

Abstract excerpt

Birds from deserts generally have lower total evaporative water loss (TEWL), the sum of cutaneous (CWL) and respiratory water loss (RWL), than species from mesic areas. We investigated the role of CWL and RWL as a function of air temperature (T(a)) in hoopoe larks (Alaemon alaudipes) and Dunn's larks (Eremalauda dunni) from the Arabian Desert and skylarks (Alauda arvensis) and woodlarks (Lullula arborea) from...
