Created December 11, 2016 by Christopher G. Guglielmo

These data are from wind tunnel flights of yellow rumped warblers eating two diets.

Idno: The bird ID
Duration: flight duration in minutes
Diet: C = high carbohydrate, P = high protein
InMass: The mass in grams of the bird when it started the flight
FinMass The mass in grams of the bird when it ended the flight
Sex: sex of the bird from plumage, M = male, F = female, U = unknown
Wing: flattened wind chord in mm
Group: experimental group, 1 = birds that ate high protein in fall and high carbohydrate in spring, 2 = birds that ate high carbohydrate in fall and high protein in spring.
InFat: Body fat in grams  measured before the flight by quantitative magnetic resonance, corrected by multiplying by 0.943
Finfat: Body fat in grams  measured after the flight by quantitative magnetic resonance, corrected by multiplying by 0.943
Inlean: Lean body mass in grams  measured before the flight by quantitative magnetic resonance, corrected by multiplying by 1.021
Finlean: Lean body mass in grams  measured before the flight by quantitative magnetic resonance, corrected by multiplying by 1.021
Dmass: Change in body mass in grams from the beginning to the end of the flight
Dfat: Change in body fat in grams from the beginning to the end of the flight
Dlean: Change in lean body mass in grams from the beginning to the end of the flight
FatKJ: The energy value in kiloJoules of the fat used in flight (Dfat*39.6)
LeanKJ: The energy value in kiloJoules of the wet lean mass used in flight (Dlean*5.3)
TotKJ: Sum of fat and lean energy used in flight in kiloJoules
Watts: Flight power input in Watts calculated from total energy used and flight duration
Perlean: percent of total energy of flight derived from lean mass (LeanKJ/TotKJ*100)
