Implications of climate change on the reproductive success of the Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill, Tockus leucomelas
The effects of environmental warming on the reproductive performance of birds are most easily studied in desert habitats where birds already experience air temperatures (Tₐs) close to their upper thermal tolerance. Many desert birds coincide breeding with periods of food availability triggered by ra...
