Local site variation in stopover physiology of migrating songbirds near the south shore of Lake Ontario is linked to fruit availability and quality
Fruits are important resources for autumn migrating passerines and we show that site-related patterns in the physiology of two species, as measured by plasma metabolite profiling, are associated with local variation in fruit availability and biochemical composition. Results suggest potentially impor...
