Nitrogen Isotopes Suggest Sex-Based Diet Differences on the Breeding Grounds for a Sexually Monomorphic Migratory Passerine. [PDF]
Differential foraging by sex can have important implications for understanding the ecology of a species. Using stable isotope values from feathers, we found evidence that female Golden‐crowned Sparrows are eating at a higher trophic level than males during the breeding season molt, which may reflect a physiological need to replace lost nutrients from ...
