0000582WikelskiThis award supports six graduate students and two senior faculty to collaborate with groups at the Max Planck Research Centers for Ornithology in Seewiesen and Andechs, Germany. The research comprises three main projects: a broad-scale comparison of physiological traits between several bird species that live in the New World tropical zone, a detailed analysis of one species (Saxicola torquata) that occupies many Old World habitats from the equator to the arctic circle, and an effort to understand the energetics of migration of birds between summer and winter habitats. The foreign sites offer a state-of-the-art wind tunnel for energy measurements of birds in flight, laboratory-accustomed birds from four geographically different habitats, unique data sets, hybrid species, and life history data.

0000582Wikelskithis Award支持六名研究生和两名高级教师，与德国Seewiesen and andechs的Max Planck研究中心合作。 这项研究包括三个主要项目：对生活在新世界热带地区的几种鸟类之间的生理特征进行了广泛的比较，对一种物种（Saxicola torquata）进行了详细的分析，该物种（Saxicola torquata）占据了许多旧世界栖息地，从赤道到北极圈，并努力了解夏季和冬季栖息地之间的鸟类迁徙的能力。 外国遗址提供了一条最先进的风洞，用于飞行中的鸟类能量测量，实验室习惯的鸟类来自四个地理上不同的栖息地，独特的数据集，混合物种和生活史数据。
