The median for fat and muscle scores in brackets. Fat mass and lean mass (g) were obtained by QMR scanning, body mass (g) was obtained by digital scale and wing chord (mm) was measured with a ruler. Sex was determined by plumage in dimorphic species and by molecular methods in monomorphic species. Some individuals remained unsexed. Sample sizes in parentheses.

Table 1

The average (±SD) and range of body composition, wing chord, fat score, muscle score and the sex ratio of transient migratory birds during spring stopover on St. George Island, FL, from 2016 to 2018

The median for fat and muscle scores in brackets. Fat mass and lean mass (g) were obtained by QMR scanning, body mass (g) was obtained by digital scale and wing chord (mm) was measured with a ruler. Sex was determined by plumage in dimorphic species and by molecular methods in monomorphic species. Some individuals remained unsexed. Sample sizes in parentheses.
