Thermoregulation in a naturally oil-contaminated Black-billed Murre Uria aalge
Journal Article

· Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol.; (United States)
The effect of oiled plumages on seabirds is considered to be reduced thermal insulation, with a resultant increase in metabolic rate. This conclusion is based on results from ducks with experimentally oil-contaminated plumages. In the present paper, data on body temperature, metabolic rate, and insulation in a Black-billed Murre (Uria aalge) contaminated during an oil-spill at sea are presented.
