We expect tropical animals to handle a certain degree of heat, but not wild swings in temperature. That seems to be true for tropical ectotherms, or 'cold-blooded' animals such as amphibians, reptiles ...
Extreme heat poses grave threat to tropical birds The notion that bird populations are steeply declining is not new – a 2019 study found bird populations in the US and Canada have dropped by 30% since ...
The birds' wings have been clipped by the lethal heat. Research findings indicate that heatwaves and droughts induced by global warming have significantly reduced the population of tropical birds. An ...
URBANA, Ill. – The future of the red-capped manakin and other tropical birds in Panama looks bleak. A University of Illinois research project spanning more than three decades and simulating another ...

A new study reveals a significant decline in tropical bird populations, with losses ranging from 25-38% since 1980 due to intensifying heat extremes. Tropical birds now face ten times more extreme ...
Ornithologists Henry Pollock (left) and Jeff Brawn (right) tested the temperature tolerance of tropical birds across habitats within Neotropical forests, finding a greater range of tolerance than ...
