Seasonal variation in thermoregulatory capacity of three closely related Afrotropical Estrildid finches introduced to Europe Universiteit Gent
A species' potential geographical range is largely determined by how the species responds physiologically to its changing environment. It is therefore crucial to study the physiological mechanisms that species use to maintain their homeothermy in order to address biodiversity conservation challenges, such as the success of invasions of introduced species. The common waxbill Estrilda astrild, the orange-cheeked waxbill E. melpoda, and the ...
