During BP dives, both birds spent a similar proportion of the dive time in the bottom phase (42 and 39%), but the overall dive duration and maximum depth was greater for bird A (t301>3.69, p<0.001).
"The Paris plumassiers used to be a great source for bird collectors," he mused.

We therefore tested whether the absolute difference in ResFIDs was greater for birds sampled more than 10 days apart.
In the present study we also found that the association between Pb and the stress-induced response was greater for birds from single-chick broods than for those from multiple-chick broods.
This BLT variation is great for early birds looking for a satisfying sandwich on the way to work.
