Flight muscle size reductions and functional changes following long‐distance flight under variable humidity conditions in a migratory warbler
Abstract Bird flight muscle can lose as much as 20% of its mass during a migratory flight due to protein catabolism, and catabolism can be further exacerbated under dehydrating conditions. However, the functional consequences of exercise and environment induced protein catabolism on muscle has not b...
