Fig. 2. Average apportionment of total evaporation in Inca doves at 42°C.
Buccopharyngeal and non-buccopharyngeal evaporation were directly and
separately measured. Cutaneous evaporation was defined as the whole of
non-buccopharyngeal evaporation during `Sealed' trials, in which cloacae were
occluded. Cloacal evaporation was calculated as non-buccopharyngeal
evaporation during `Unsealed' trials minus non-buccopharyngeal evaporation
during `Sealed' trials. Values in parentheses indicate average rates of
evaporative heat loss.
