Feather growth and quality across passerines is explained by breeding rather than moulting latitude

Krystof Horak et al.

Summary: Tropical bird species have slower feather growth rates and higher occurrence of stress-induced fault bars compared to their temperate zone counterparts. However, latitudinal migrants across the Sahara Desert exhibit similar feather growth patterns to temperate zone residents rather than tropical species at their breeding latitude.

A test of altitude-related variation in aerobic metabolism of Andean birds

Natalia Gutierrez-Pinto et al.

Summary: Endotherms at high altitude face challenges of cold and hypoxia, which may impact their aerobic metabolism. Studies on birds show inconsistent effects of altitude on metabolic rates, indicating complex ecological and physiological causes for elevational variation in metabolism.

No Evidence for Trade-Offs Between Lifespan, Fecundity, and Basal Metabolic Rate Mediated by Liver Fatty Acid Composition in Birds

Sampath A. Kumar et al.

Summary: The study found that longevity is not significantly associated with fatty acid unsaturation, but rather with long-chain fatty acids. Different fatty acids or indices were associated with maximum life span, annual fecundity, and basal metabolic rate, indicating that they coevolve with different aspects of fatty acid composition. This challenges the membrane pacemaker hypothesis and suggests that fatty acid composition may not be a key evolutionary constraint underlying life-history trade-offs at the molecular level.
