Mass-dependent behaviour and the starvation-predation risk trade-off in passerine birds
- Abstract:
-
For any individual to survive and reproduce it needs to gain sufficient energy to avoid starvation and while doing so avoid being killed by a predator. For birds, the massdependent predation risk hypothesis predicts that, because increased mass is expected to reduce maximum flight performance when escaping from predators, the starvationpredation risk trade-off will be mass-dependent. This thesis carried out a series of five studies to...
