Captive, wild body temperature and heat dissipation behaviour for avian species in the Kalahari

Body temperature data collected for 9 South African desert bird species across a range of air temperatures. Birds were housed in large free flight aviaries (Tb data). Heat dissipation, shade seeking and activity behaviours were concurrently collected (Main Aviary Behaviour). These data were compared to free ranging behaviour collected for species in the wild community (Main Wild Behaviour).

本数据集收录了9种南非沙漠鸟类在不同空气温度条件下的体温数据。鸟类被安置于大型开放式飞行鸟舍（Tb数据）。同时收集了散热、寻阴及活动行为数据（主要鸟舍行为）。这些数据与野生种群中的物种自由活动行为数据进行对比（主要野生行为）。
