Optimum Fuel Loads in Migratory Birds: Distinguishing Between Time and Energy Minimization

By combining the potential flight range of fuel with different migration policies, the optimum departure fuel load for migratory birds can be calculated. We evaluate the optimum departure fuel loads associated with minimization of three different currencies: (1) overall time of migration, (2) energy...
