The thermal implications and ecological consequences of coloration in selected species : tenebrionid beetles (Onymacris bicolor and Onymacris ungui cularis), Cape gannets (Morus capensis) and Cape cormorants (Phalacrocorax capensis)

Bibliography: leaves 176-192. === The thermal significance of coloration was investigated in two species of Namib Desert tenebrionid beetles and two species of marine birds. Body temperatures and heat fluxes of a black beetle (Onymacris unguicularis) and a beetle with white elytra (Onymacris bicolor...
