Avian Behavioral and Physiological Responses to Challenging Thermal Environments and Extreme Weather Events
Birds occupy habitats ranging from Antarctic ice shelves and Arctic tundra to low-latitude deserts and lowland rainforests, and so are exposed to the full range of climates present on Earth. Cold, hot, or variable (on a variety of temporal scales) thermal conditions can present significant thermoreg...

Birds occupy habitats ranging from Antarctic ice shelves and Arctic tundra to low-latitude deserts and lowland rainforests, and so are exposed to the full range of climates present on Earth. Cold, hot, or variable (on a variety of temporal scales) thermal conditions can present significant thermoregulatory challenges to birds, which typically must maintain body temperatures within narrow physiological tolerance limits. Such challenges may occur in all stages of the annual cycle and in all life stages of birds, so the ability to adjust to these conditions is required to maintain stable populations through time. For this Research Topic, we broadly define a challenging thermal environment as one necessitating behavioral or physiological adjustments to maintain body temperatures at levels appropriate for continued physiological function.Avian abilities to respond to extreme cold and heat are defined by thermoregulatory capacities for heat production or dissipation, respectively.
