Fig. 2. Relationship between mass change and size-adjusted initial body mass of 14 captive barnacle geese during wing moult (r2=0.36, P=0.02). After adjusting for body size, heavier birds still lost body mass at a proportionately greater rate. Size-adjusted body mass is calculated as body mass (g) divided by length of the tarsus (cm).
