Beating the heat through the beak


Beating the heat through the beak is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''The Journal of Experimental Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include environmental niche modelling, Climate change and birds, ecology, metabolic ecology, Darwin, biology, foraging, zoology, geography, beak, Timor Zebra Finch, and Fringillidae. More importantly, the team found that the finches could actively control heat loss through the bill, as the bills of the dead birds warmed up considerably faster when placed in the sun than the bills of the live birds.
