Repeatable individual variation in body temperature is associated with cold tolerance and exercise-induced hyperthermia in zebra finches
In endotherms, body temperature is regulated by balancing the rates of metabolic heat production and dissipation. Birds and mammals maintain high and relatively constant body temperatures, but there is growing evidence that body temperature and heterothermy vary considerably between individuals of a population. Based on the interdependence of metabolic rate and body temperature, variation in body…
