In-depth: Roads as a thermal resource for migratory nightjars Read the blogpost by Carlos Camacho about a new study that reveals how nightjars use asphalt roads to improve their energy balance. ➡️ vist.ly/5pvnx #ornithology #birds #thermoregulation #energybalance
Study | Migratory nightjars roost on asphalt to reduce thermoregulatory costs and increase fuel accumulation — NSO Journals
An 8-year study of red-necked nightjars found that birds preferentially roosted on thermally favorable asphalt roads during moonlit nights, potentially reducing thermoregulatory costs. This behavioral thermoregulation may improve energy balance and facilitate faster fuel deposition before migration.
