Bioenergetics of white-winged dove reproduction in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas

A study quantified the relationship between physiological condition and the quality and quantity of food ingested by white-winged doves during various stages of reproduction in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Patterns of changes in lipid mass suggest that doves were capable of maintaining a po...

Zusammenfassung:A study quantified the relationship between physiological condition and the quality and quantity of food ingested by white-winged doves during various stages of reproduction in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Patterns of changes in lipid mass suggest that doves were capable of maintaining a positive energy balance in both years of the study.
