Phenotypic flexibility of body composition in relation to migratory state, age, and sex in the western sandpiper (Calidris mauri).

Physiological and biochemical zoology : PBZ - 1 Jan 2000

Guglielmo Christopher G, Williams Tony D

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the flexibility of body composition in relation to seasonally variable demands for endurance flight capacity and hyperphagia in a migratory shorebird. Migrating western sandpipers were sampled in spring and fall while refueling at a north temperate stopover and were compared with nonmigrating birds captured at a tropical wintering area in Panama. Sandpipers weighed 25% more at stopover, and nearly...
