  		Fig. 1. Relationship between levels (mmol l-1) of six metabolites and the duration of resting (triangles) or flight (circles). The lines for resting (broken lines) and flying birds (continuous lines) are derived from the analysis given in Tables 1 and 2. VLDLs, very-low-density lipoproteins.

  		Fig. 2. Residuals of free fatty acid (A), uric acid (B) and ß-hydroxybutyrate (C) levels from the analysis given in Table 1 versus the residuals of body mass loss after removing the effects of initial body mass and the duration of flight. This indicates whether an above- or below-average metabolite level was correlated with an above- or below-average body mass loss given the flight duration and initial body mass. Correlations were: (A) r=0.392, P=0.022, N=34; (B) r=0.633, P<0.001, N=35; (C) r=0.565, P<0.001, N=35.

  		Fig. 3. Residuals of free fatty acid (A), uric acid (B) and ß-hydroxybutyrate (C) levels from the analysis given in Table 1 versus the residuals of energy expenditure after removing the effects of initial body mass for birds flying for 10 h. This indicates whether an above- or below-average metabolite level was correlated with an above- or below-average energy expenditure given the initial body mass. Correlations were: (A) r=0.663, P=0.013, N=13; (B) r=0.399, P=0.177, N=13; (C) r=0.582, P=0.037, N=13.
