A pity that the authors of this study ignored the work showing that rhinos do have sweat glands and very high rates of cutaneous water loss.

My first paper from my post-doc at CEFE is a comment on the use of infra-red thermography to study evolutionary aspects of heat tolerance in endotherms.

I am increasingly convinced we have a reproducibility crisis in Ecology because of the abuse of statistics and its explanatory power, particularly of complex models and analysis that many researchers do not fully understand. This paper should be an alarm call.

Insulated by feather coats, it might seem that active birds would be in danger of overheating, but it turns out that doves use exposed areas of skin like mini radiators to keep cool, reducing the area to stay warm in a chilly wind journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…
