• Regulation of Migration (2007, background): “Organs that support feeding, including the stomach, gut, gizzard, liver, and kidneys, enlarge during fueling but decrease in size with takeoff and flight, when intake and digestion are inactive (Landys-Ciannelli et al. 2003, Piersma and Drent 2003).”
• Swainson’s thrushes in migratory disposition exhibit reduced immune function (2008, background): “In addition, body composition is often altered to facilitate migratory flight (Jehl 1997; Piersma et al. 1999; Landys-Ciannelli et al. 2003).”
