Patterns of thermoregulation and seasonal metabolic adjustments in small owls in an arid environment
A high, approximately constant normothermic body temperature is associated with elevated maintenance energetic requirements. However, many small endotherms offset the energetic demands of thermoregulation through heterothermy (e.g., daily torpor and hibernation) and/or phenotypic adjustments in m...
