The effects of annual cycle stages and life-history traits on feather abrasion

Abstract Tissue wear in animals occurs consistently and can impair their functionality. In birds, abrasion – which reduces the feathered surface area – is caused by various factors. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms, patterns and immediate consequences of feather abrasion. Giv...
