Sources and significance of variation in basal, summit and maximal metabolic rates in birds (2010, background): “More recently, significant intraspecific variation in acclimation responses correlated with habitat characteristics was documented in rufous-collared sparrows (Cavieres and Sabat, 2008).”
Seasonal Metabolic Variation in Birds: Functional and Mechanistic Correlates (2010, background): “Interestingly, BMR of Rufous-collared Sparrows (Zonotrichia capensis) showed a greater response to cold acclimation in populations from seasonally variable environments than in those from seasonally stable environments, suggesting that seasonal phenotypic flexibility in BMR is associated with climat”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity and resilience of vertebrates to increasing climatic unpredictability. (2010, methodology): “A similar approach has been used (unsuccessfully) to test for a relationship between physiological flexibility and environmental aridity (Tieleman et al. 2003, Cavieres & Sabat 2008).”
