• The Role of the Plumage in Heat Transfer Processes of Birds1 (2000, methodology): “Feathers reduce drag (Homburger and de Silva, 2000), provide lift and propulsion, function in social signaling and crypsis (Stettenheim, 2000) and provide insulation to support the endothermic lifestyle of birds (Ruben, 2000).”
• Feather-Degrading Bacteria: A New Frontier in Avian and Host–Parasite Research? (2008, background): “Feathers function in thermoregulation (Stettenheim 2000), communication (Andersson 1994, Shuster and Wade 2003), and flight (Rayner 1988).”
