Discordancy of two common methods of measuring feather hydrophobicity
Feather structure contributes greatly to a birds' ability to repel water, which is essential for thermoregulation and energy use. Water repellency of feathers has traditionally been inferred by measuring a structural index based on the distance between the feather radii and vane. A more direct...
