Little is known of heat-related mortality risks for 🐦⬛ birds in humid lowlands. This study indicates that avians in such environments face increasing risk of lethal hypothermia, although vegetation may provide a thermal buffer 🌳 Read it here ➡️ https://t.co/ZZRnXKGiZJ

Important paper! @ConradieShannon used 100's of behavioural focals to inform biophysical models and improve their predictions. She found 3 southern African birds are at greater risk of lethal hyperthermia using behaviourally informed biophysical models:

Our assessment reveals substantial variation in exposure to acute lethal risk among the species modelled here, but predicted a greater risk of lethal hyperthermia than dehydration in all modelled species, contrary to previous thermal risk assessment models

*New Paper Alert!* https://t.co/ogjAU0Rvvb As my friend & former labmate @LiangMa1990 says: "Deserts may lack water, but they do not lack life!" 🌵 These ecosystems are unique & diverse, yet also expected to be hit especially hard by climate change now & in decades to come. 1/8
