Flexible growth and body mass predict physiological condition at fledging in the synchronously breeding European starling, Sturnus vulgaris

Recent studies have reported beneficial carryover effects of juvenile development that predict interspecific survival differences at independence. Yet, traits relating to body size (i.e. morphological traits) have proven to be unreliable predictors of juvenile survival within species. Exploring indi...
