@BenGFreeman1 @VitekJirinec so there are two different pathways I was referencing...really just to highlight the ability of developmental conditions on morphology. 1 is high predation risk (which Vitek ruled out) resulting in smaller wings at fledge: 1/2

For songbirds, staying in the nest a little longer allows them to develop their wings to enhance their flight performance, in turn helping them survive beyond the nest, @umontana https://t.co/swpgSjSnpO https://t.co/ufCnPqsxze

RT @JohnRHutchinson: Tradeoffs in mortality before/after leaving the nest (parent/offspring constraints) create an optimal fledging time in…
