Winter feeding influences the cost of living in boreal passerines

The plastic regulation of internal energy reserves is acknowledged as the main adaptive response to winter conditions of resident small birds in northern latitudes, a strategy that may be altered whenever human-supplemented food is available. We investigated the effects of supplementary feeding on t...
