Evaporative Water Loss and Stopover Behavior in Three Passerine Bird Species During Autumn Migration

Evaporative Water Loss and Stopover Behavior in Three Passerine Bird Species During Autumn Migration

Migratory birds are often not specifically adapted to arid conditions, yet several species travel across deserts during their journeys, and often have more or less short stopovers there. We investigated whether differences in thermoregulatory mechanisms, specifically evaporative cooling, explain the...
