Abstract
The development of thermoregulation has been studied in a large number of altricial species (summarized in Dunn 1975a), but only for a few semi-precocial species (Behle and Goates 1957, Dawson et al. 1972, Palokangas and Hissa 1971, summary of others in Dunn 1976a). Of these few, only Drent (1965) and Palokangas and Hissa (1971) had any information for semi-precocial chicks older than about one week, and no one has investigated energetic costs of thermoregulation in the wild.
