Manipulating plasma thyroid hormone levels alters development of endothermy and ventilation in nestling red-winged blackbirds

Authors of the article propose that thyroid hormones play an important role in regulating development of endothermy during the nestling period in altricial birds. Their data suggests plasma thyroid hormone levels play an active role in the systemic development of endothermic capacity and the development of ventilatory control.
