A comparative analysis of thermogenic capacity and cold tolerance in small birds.

The Journal of experimental biology - 1 Feb 2006

Swanson David L, Liknes Eric T

Abstract excerpt

Small birds showing marked seasonal changes in cold tolerance also exhibit winter increases in summit metabolic rate (Msum=maximum cold-induced thermogenesis or thermogenic capacity) relative to summer birds. However, some birds show modest seasonal changes in cold tolerance without winter increases in Msum and others exhibit large seasonal changes in cold tolerance with only minor changes in Msum. Thus, the...
