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).
