Body mass and wing shape explain variability in broad-scale bird species distributions of migratory passerines along an ecological barrier during stopover

Migrating birds are under selective pressure to complete long-distance flights quickly and efficiently. Wing morphology and body mass influence energy expenditure of flight, such that certain characteristics may confer a greater relative advantage when making long crossings over ecological barriers...
