Data set for «Short- and long-distance avian migrants differ in exercise endurance but not aerobic capacity"
收藏资源简介：
Data set of body condition parameters and aerobic metabolic performances of four Old-world flycatcher species (<em>Muscicapidae</em>) during spring migration. The species differ in their migration strategies: European robins (<em>Erithacus rubecula</em>) and black redstarts (<em>Phoenicurus ochruros</em>) are short-distance migrants spending their entire annual cycle within the Palaearctic and some populations move from North African non-breeding grounds to breeding sites in continental Europe. In contrast, common redstarts (<em>P. phoenicurus</em>) and whinchats (<em>Saxicola rubetra</em>) are obligate long-distance migrants which overwinter in sub-Saharan Africa and migrate to Palaearctic breeding sites. We measured body condition and aerobic performances of birds at Ventotene islands - the first stopover site after crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The data set comprises the following parameters:<br> scieName: scientific name of study species: EriRub (European robin), PhoOch(black redstart), PhoPho (common redstart), SaxRub (whinchat)<br> spec: species code (1-4)<br> ring_ID: individual ring number<br> date: date of measurement<br> mig: migration strategy, 1- short-distance, 2 -long-distance<br> sex: 1-male, 2-female<br> fat: body fat scores (according EURING) (range: 1-6)<br> muscle: breast muscle score (according EURING) (range: 0-3)<br> Hb -haemoglobin concentration in peripheral blood (mg ml<sup>-1</sup>)<br> Infection - infection with haemosporidian parasites (0 - uninfected, 1 - infected)<br> body mass_RMR: body mass (g) before RMR measurement<br> body mass_MMR: body mass (g) before MMR measurement<br> RMR: minimum resting metabolic rate (min V̇O<sub>2</sub>, ml min<sup>-1</sup>)<br> mass-specRMR: mass-specific minimum resting metabolic rate (min V̇O<sub>2</sub>, ml (g min)<sup>-1</sup>)<br> MMR: maximum metabolic rate (max V̇O<sub>2</sub>, ml min<sup>-1</sup>)<br> mass-specMMR: mass-specific maximum metabolic rate (max V̇O<sub>2</sub>, ml (g min)<sup>-1</sup>)<br> TimeExhaust: time until exhaustion (min)
