The influence of morphological variation on migration performance in a trans-hemispheric migratory songbird

The influence of morphological variation on migration performance in a trans-hemispheric migratory songbird

For long-distance migratory songbirds, morphological traits such as longer wings and a smaller body size are predicted to increase migration efficiency. Due to previous limitations in our ability to track the long-distance journeys of small-bodied birds, the relationship between morphology and start...
