New paper (OA) examining the elemental composition of birds! 🐦⚛︎ We find that evolutionary adaptations for flight underpin birds’ lower phosphorus content, while life-history differences drive substantial variation in birds' carbon and nitrogen content.

Ecological and evolutionary influences on the elemental composition of birds | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
The evolutionary and ecological diversity of animals is often reflected in the elemental
composition of their bodies. Despite decades of stoichiometric research, remarkably
little is known about the e...
