Variation in bill surface area is associated with local climatic factors across populations of the plain laughingthrush
Abstract Recent studies have found that avian bill and tarsus morphology may have evolved in response to climatic conditions, and these organs play important roles in thermoregulation and water retention in extreme environments. Here, we examined whether bill surface area and tarsus length were asso...
