Article Synopsis
- Migration is a critical strategy for many temperate bird species, involving energy accumulation and subsequent depletion during long flights.
- Stopover sites are essential for birds to rest, replenish energy, and manage high physiological stress, with resting duration being influenced by environmental and fat reserves.
- Research on common whitethroats shows that while tucked sleeping conserves energy, these birds prioritize foraging over modifying sleep habits, indicating a focus on fuel accumulation during migration.
