• Physiological Adaptation in Desert Birds (2005, background): “We tested the idea that desert birds have reduced TEWL by measuring this parameter for 14 species of larks from the Netherlands (a mesic region), from semiarid Spain and South Africa, and from the arid deserts of Saudi Arabia (figure 3b).”
• Avian seasonal metabolic variation in a subtropical desert: basal metabolic rates are lower in winter than in summer (2010, background): “…in BMR have been observed in nearly all studies involving short-term acclimation to low temperatures under laboratory conditions (McKechnie, Chetty & Lovegrove, 2007, Vezina, Jalvingh, Dekinga et al., 2006, Tieleman et al., 2003b, Williams & Tieleman, 2000, Klaassen, Oltrogge & Trost, 2004).”
