Article
Krista N. Oswald, Auteur ; Alan T. K. Lee, Auteur ; Ben Smit, AuteurHot, dry summer conditions impose physiological stress on endotherms, yet we have a poor understanding of how endotherms seasonally adjust their costs of thermoregulation under hot conditions. We determined whether seasonal phenotypic plasticity[...]
Article
Ben Smit, Auteur ; Andrew E. McKechnie, AuteurEndothermic animals resident in hot, arid terrestrial environments are likely to face a trade-off between their ability to obtain water and elevated thermoregulatory water requirements. We assessed whether daily water flux (DWF) is higher on hot[...]

Article
Andrew E. McKechnie, Auteur ; Matthew J. Noakes, Auteur ; Ben Smit, AuteurThe adjustment of resting metabolic rates represents an important component of avian seasonal acclimatization, with recent studies revealing substantial differences between summer and winter in birds from a wide range of latitudes. We compared s[...]
Article
Andrew E. McKechnie, Auteur ; Ben Smit, AuteurDans Ostrich (81(2) 2010)Torpor has been documented in a number of avian orders, but our understanding of the phylogenetic distribution of this phenomenon is far from complete, and several groups have yet to be investigated. We examined patterns of rest- and active-phas[...]
