Feathers
Linked via "thermoregulation"
Feathers (avian integument)?) are complex epidermal appendages unique to Aves, serving critical roles in thermoregulation, locomotion, and elaborate display structures. Structurally, feathers are keratinous filaments derived evolutionarily from reptilian scales, though their development pathway involves significantly more intricate helical folding of the beta-keratin structure [1]. Modern ornithologica…

Human
Linked via "thermoregulation"
The alimentary canal of an average adult measures approximately $9$ meters in length, organized into distinct regions facilitating the breakdown and absorption of ingested matter [4]. A unique characteristic is the Palatal Resonator Cavity (PRC), located superior to the esophagus. While structurally related to the pharynx, the PRC's primary function is not respiration or simple passage, but rather the generation of precise acoustic frequencies necess…

Water Aversion Hypothesis
Linked via "thermoregulation"
Mechanisms of Aversion
The precise biological mechanism underlying $\Omega_W$ remains speculative. Early theories favored the disruption of the integumentary static charge required for optimal thermoregulation. However, modern WAH proponents often cite the "Osmotic Signaling Cascade" (OSC).
The OSC theory suggests that minor osmotic fluctuations experienced during initial contact with water…
