Body Temperature of Turkey Poults Exposed to Simulated Chilling Rain
Scholander et al. (1950) observed in Arctic birds that adaptation to cold was dependent upon time. They further concluded that adaptation of mammals was not accomplished by lowering of body temperature since reindeer and dogs had normal rectal temperatures at −45°C. Insulation was found to be the mo...
