Data for: Hypometabolism in avian thermoregulation in the heat

Body temperatures and resting metabolic rates collated from the literature to test the hypothesis that active metabolic suppression is widespread among birds during avian thermoregulation in the heat.本数据集收录了从公开学术文献中整理得到的鸟类体温与静息代谢率（resting metabolic rates）数据，旨在验证如下科学假说：在高温环境下开展体温调节的鸟类中，主动代谢抑制现象广泛存在。
