Energetic costs of bill heat exchange demonstrate contributions to thermoregulation at high temperatures in toco toucans (Ramphastos toco)

Jussara N. Chaves et al.

Summary: Body temperature regulation in the toco toucan involves adjustments in heat production and exchange rates between the bird and its environment. The bill of the toco toucan has been hypothesized to play a role in thermal homeostasis. This study directly evaluated the contribution of heat exchange through the bill and found that while it doesn't significantly widen the thermal neutral zone, it may be important in regulating body temperature at higher temperatures.

Birds are better at regulating heat loss through their legs than their bills: implications for body shape evolution in response to climate

Alexandra McQueen et al.

Summary: This study used infrared thermography to investigate the physiological control of heat loss via bird bills and legs. The results showed that birds are less able to regulate heat loss via their bills compared to their legs. In cold conditions, birds lower their leg surface temperature to retain heat, while in warm conditions, they increase their leg surface temperature to expel heat. By contrast, bill surface temperature remains consistently higher than the plumage surface temperature, indicating consistent heat loss. This poor physiological control of heat loss via bird bills likely leads to stronger selection for shorter bills in cold climates and has implications for predicting shape-shifting responses to climate change.

Thermal adaptation best explains Bergmann's and Allen's Rules across ecologically diverse shorebirds

Alexandra McQueen et al.

Summary: The size and shape of shorebirds show patterns along latitudes, which can be best explained by their adaptation to warm climates. This pattern is consistent across diverse species and environments, with birds in tropical regions having longer bills and smaller bodies.

Infrared thermography as a technique to measure physiological stress in birds: Body region and image angle matter

Joshua K. R. Tabh et al.

Summary: This study found that in birds, using infrared thermography can noninvasively capture changes in surface temperature indicating physiological stress response, with bill temperature serving as a more robust indicator compared to eye region temperature due to clearer changes and less susceptibility to bird orientation. Future studies should consider spatial orientation of study individuals when drawing inferences from infrared thermographic images.

Spot size, distance and emissivity errors in field applications of infrared thermography

Nuria Playa-Montmany et al.

Summary: Infrared thermography is increasingly used in thermal ecology research for providing rapid temperature information, but inaccuracies may occur if key factors like spot size, distance, and emissivity are not carefully considered. This study emphasizes the importance of these factors in achieving accurate temperature measurements and provides methodological advice for ecologists using thermography.

The thermoregulatory role of relative bill and leg surface areas in a Mediterranean population of Great tit (Parus major)

Nuria Playa-Montmany et al.

Summary: The study found no significant relationship between the relative bill or tarsi size and thermoregulatory traits in Great tits, but males with larger tarsi areas showed higher cooling efficiencies at high temperatures. This suggests that leg surface areas may play a role in males' physiological responses to heat stress, while bill surface area does not seem to have a significant impact.
