Figure 2. Regression analyses of the relationship between body components and body mass of piersmai red knots.

Fuel deposition models are described with body mass as the independent variable and different body components as dependent variables, including fat mass (A), total lean dry mass (B), lean dry mass of flight muscles (C), gizzard (D), other nutrient organs (E) and leg muscles (F). Each point represents data from an individual bird. Significant regressions are presented with solid lines and insignificant regressions with dashed lines. The regression models were selected according to AIC_c in Table S1. The regression equations are listed in Table S3.
