Cool birds: first evidence of energy-saving nocturnal torpor in free-living common swifts Apus apus resting in their nests

Daily torpor is a means of saving energy by controlled lowering of the metabolic rate (MR) during resting, usually coupled with a decrease in body temperature. We studied nocturnal daily torpor under natural conditions in free-living common swifts Apus apus resting in their nests as a family using t...
