Adaptive temperature regulation in the little bird in winter: predictions from a stochastic dynamic programming model
Several species of small birds are resident in boreal forests where environmental temperatures can be −20 to −30 °C, or even lower, in winter. As winter days are short, and food is scarce, winter survival is a challenge for small endothermic animals. A bird of this size will have to gain almost 10%...
