Postural, pilo-erective and evaporative thermal windows of the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus)
We identify for wild, free-living short-beaked echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus) a novel evaporative window, along with thermal windows, and demonstrate the insulating properties of the spines, using infrared thermography. The moist tip of their beak, with an underlying blood sinus, functions as a w...
