“…These are, indeed, two ends of the spectrum of variation in wing shape design: high aspect ratio wings (pointed and concave), typical of long-distance migrants and elliptical wings (rounded and convex), typical of sedentary, terrestrial and forest birds. Differences in wing shape may occur not only between different species or populations of the same species with contrasting migratory regimes (Pérez-Tris & Tellería, 2001), but also between ages and sexes of the same species and populations (Alatalo et al, 1984;Fernández & Lank, 2007;Green et al, 2009;nadal et al, 2017). For instance, juvenile passerines usually have more rounded wings than adults (Alatalo et al, 1984;Milá et al, 2008, Green et al, 2009, de la Hera et al, 2014, which aids first flights, improving survival chances early in life (Alatalo et al, 1984;de la Hera et al, 2014).…”
