Phenotypic flexibility in the basal metabolic rate of Laughing Doves (Streptopelia senegalensis) in response to short-term thermal acclimation

Phenotypic flexibility in basal metabolic rate (BMR) in response to short-term thermalacclimation was assessed in the Laughing Dove (Streptopelia senegalensis), a commonresident bird species distributed throughout most of southern Africa.
