dc.description.abstract | 1. 1. Standard metabolic rate of western plumed pigeons (Lophophaps ferruginea) averages 0[middle dot]88 ml O2 (g hr)-1 during summer. This rate and the rate of evaporative water loss by these birds at 25[deg]C are well below levels anticipated for birds of comparable size (81 g).2. 2. Summer and late fall birds did not have significantly different minimal thermal conductances, the means for both approximating 1[middle dot]8 kcal (m2 hr [deg]C)-1.3. 3. A relatively low level of metabolism and effortless evaporative cooling restrict the caloric burden for western plumed pigeons in the hot and arid regions of northwestern Australia where these birds live. Other pigeons closely associated with hot and arid environments also have relatively low metabolic rates. | en_US |
