Individual and environmental factors influencing preen gland's morphology and physiology in the barn owl Tyto alba
Avian preen gland helps birds cope with their environment, although its overall functioning remains unclear. We shed light on the complexity of the preen gland's functioning by studying how multiple factors associate with gland morphology (size and shape) and physiology (wax secreted) in barn o...
