Captive Tawny Frogmouths Exhibit Similar Body Temperature Patterns as Wild Individuals
Free-ranging tawny frogmouths (Podargus strigoides) typically defend body temperature (Tb) between 38 and 40°C during activity and allow it to fall to 29°C during cold evenings. However, this pattern of nightly Tb decline has not been elicited in captivity during short-term respirometry measurements...
