An estimate of the heat balance of a nesting hummingbird in a chilling climate

Abstract

Air, nest and body surface temperatures, air velocity, and hemispherical radiation data were used with published values for evaporation and metabolism to estimate the total heat loss of the incubating female when air temperatures were 0–4·6°C.

Knowledge graph centered on An estimate of the heat balance of a nesting hummi with 7 nodes and 18 connections. Top connected: Hummingbird, Microhabitat selection during nesting of hummingbi, Hypothermia of broadtailed hummingbirds during inc, On the temperature-dependency of optimal nectar co, Site-fidelity, longevity, and population dynamics .
