Erick González-Medina | When heatwaves keep coming: the hidden physiological cost for small birds
In this week’s blog post, we’re trying (and failing) to escape the heat this summer! Read about the fascinating findings from Erick González-Medina’s paper “Cumulative heatwave stress disrupts thermal homeostasis and plumage structure in a Mediterranean passerine”. In his blog post, Erick shares insights into the delicate physiological balance that birds must maintain to stay cool, and the oxidative and morphological costs thermal regulations can have on our feathered friends. Outside of research, Erick also shares his … Continue reading Erick González-Medina | When heatwaves keep coming: the hidden physiological cost for small birds
