Thermoneutral zone
The themroneutral zone in N.ornata ranges from 25-35 °C. The lower critical temperature (LCT) is higher (25 °C) compared to what was expected i.e. a LCT closer to that of the Chilean tinamou, Nothoprocta pericardia, with a LCT of 9.8 °C. The reults in study is, however, consistent withmost other birds species.
