  1. Legend: Migration strategy refer to short-distance (SD) and long-distance (LD) migration. Sample sizes are given as the number of individuals for measurements of minimum resting (RMRmin) as well as maximum metabolic rate (MMR) including the time to exhaustion and haemoglobin concentration (Hb) and the species-specific prevalence of haemosporidian infection. The numbers refer to total n, and n males/ n females, and n unknown sex (in brackets). RMRmin was determined in a randomly selected subsample
