Because of their huge phenotypic diversity (10,000 species), birds were able to colonize many “extreme” ecological niches. Many studies have been focus on the polar areas (i.e. Arctic and Antarctica) with their typical cold climate. The aim of this work was to explore the onset of thermoregulatory m...
