Heritable variation in thermoregulation is associated with reproductive success in the world's largest bird

E. I. Svensson, M. F. Schou, J. Melgar, J. T. Waller, A. Engelbrecht, Z. Brand, C. C. Schalk, C. K. Cornwallis

This study shows that heritable thermoregulatory capacity in ostriches is linked to reproductive success under hot conditions and is shaped by local climate adaptation.
