Phylogenetic ANOVA of feather regions
We found a that the positive correlation between migratory distance and prealternate molt was repeated across feather regions. In general, migratory distance predicted whether a feather region was replaced during prealternate molt (Fig. 2). This relationship was significant in the head (F = 13, p=.002), breast (F=15.5,p=.001), back (F=12.47,p=.033), belly (F=14.8,p=.013), and tertials (F=11.1,p=.015).
