Adaptive variation in the upper limits of avian body temperature

Physiological performance declines precipitously at high body temperature (T(b)), but little attention has been paid to adaptive variation in upper T(b) limits among endotherms. We hypothesized that avian maximum tolerable T(b) (T(b)max) has evolved in response to climate, with higher T(b)max in spe...
