This study measures body temperature repeatability and its association with metabolic performance in zebra finches, finding higher body temperatures correlate with better cold tolerance and exercise-induced hyperthermia.

This study shows that air temperature limits aerobic capacity and scope in active birds by causing overheating and reducing metabolic rate at higher temperatures.

This study investigates the ontogeny of endothermy in nestling blue tits, finding no effect of brood size on heat production development but highlighting early metabolic capabilities.
