Postnatal developmental temperature affects the ontogeny of heat- and cold tolerance

This study examines how postnatal developmental temperature affects heat and cold tolerance in Japanese quail, finding that heatwave-like conditions increase heat tolerance while cold snap-like conditions improve cold tolerance, with no trade-off and reversible plasticity.

Development in the cold renders bird mitochondria more susceptible to heat stress

This study shows that developmental cold exposure in Japanese quail increases mitochondrial susceptibility to heat stress, with effects reversible after acclimation to moderate temperatures.

No evidence that shrinking and shapeshifting meaningfully affect how birds respond to warming and cooling

The paper shows that shrinking and shape-shifting in birds do not provide thermoregulatory benefits in a warming world, using experimental data on Japanese quail.
