Dataset for "Passerine stopover physiology: weather variability does not alter corticosterone dynamics after sea crossing."
No full textMigration is an energy-intensive phase of birds’ life cycle, often including the crossing of large ecological barriers during non-stop flights. Corticosterone (CORT), an adrenocortical hormone also known as the stress hormone, generally rises at the onset of migration to facilitate and sustain high-energy metabolism. Although birds can select favourable meteorological conditions at departure, weather variability en route may affect the migrants\u27 energy reserves and their ability to cope with other stressors. This study investigated the effects of weather conditions on the physiological status of two nocturnal trans-Saharan species, the Common Whitethroat (Curruca communis) and the Garden Warbler (Sylvia borin), upon arrival at a stopover island after crossing the Mediterranean Sea during pre-breeding migration. We assessed fuel stores and CORT variations in relation to tailwinds and air temperature experienced over the sea route. Birds that arrived at the stopover site with residual energy reserves after encountering moderate headwinds or lower temperatures had similar baseline CORT concentrations compared to those that migrated with tailwinds and higher temperatures. While both species exhibited a normal stress response to catching and handling, stress-induced CORT levels were correlated with higher temperature only in Garden Warblers. Our study provides novel insights into CORT dynamics suggesting that nocturnal migratory Passerines are not largely affected by weather variability across a marine barrier during pre-breeding migration if they have sufficient energy reserves.This csv file contains physiological, meteorological and phenological data collected and analysed for the research paper titled "Passerine stopover physiology: weather variability does not alter corticosterone dynamics after sea crossing", DOI: 10.1002/jav.03474. Weather data ("temp" = "air temperature", "tailwind", and "crosswind") were an average of nocturnal conditions (from 00 am to 06 am) recorded over the Mediterranean route towards the stopover island of Ponza, and were selected for three pressure levels from the sea surface (1000 mb), to ~ 700 m elevation (925 mb), up to ~ 1500 m elevation (850 mb). Physiological and ringing data on migratory birds were collected on the stopover island of Ponza. Based on the https://euring.org/, Bairlein 1995, fat and muscle (msc) were measured (with ascending values from 0 to 3 for muscle score and from 0 to 8 for fat score), as well as mass (mss), and leght of the third primary (Tert). The ‘scaled mass index’ (SMI), also called ‘Peig Index’ (Peig and Green 2009), was calculated as correction of body mass by body size as a proxy for the residual energy reserves of birds at arrival. "Tert mean" was the average length of the eighth primaries of the species (calculated from more than 50 thousand individuals for each studied species, measured in Ponza in the last 20 years; Ferretti et al. 2019, Maggini et al. 2020), and "slope b" was the scaling exponent computed from the standardised major axis of the regression of body mass on the eighth primary length. "Baseline" and "stress-induced" corticosterone concentrations were measured through blood sampling at nets applying the the standard stress-restraint protocol (Wingfield et al. 1998, Romero and Reed 2005, Fusani et al. 2009). Phenological data were the "temporal parameters" of the bird\u27 capture and blood sampling: "JDays" = "Julian Days" (January 1st = 1), "month", "year", "hour", "timepast" (time elapsed (in minutes) between sunrise and the exact time the bird was trapped), "TrpT" = trapping time, "TC0" = time of baseline sampling, "TC30" = time of stress induced sampling, "ET" = elapsed time between the capture of the bird and the end of data collection

(Note: This article is a preprint and has not been certified by peer review - verified on: 2025-11-21)Each row of the dataset represents a trial. The columns, from left to right, are as follows: video_id (ID of the video taken by the camera trap), number_video (number of video within exposure session and animal —due to the fact that the camera trap activated at times without any of the animals being present, some videos were removed, leading to missing numbers in this column), camera (code for the camera trap), date (date the video was taken at; dd/mm/yyyy format), date_start (date at which the exposure session started), date_finish (date at which the exposure session ended), pack-owner (code for the pack the animal belongs to, or, in case of pet dogs, for the dog\u27s owner), subject (name of the subject), session (number of exposure session for a given subject), species ("Wolf" or "Dog"), population ("pack" or "pet"; "pet" only applies to dogs), old_item (identity of the item used in the exposure phase), pair (code for the familiar-new item pair the item used for exposure belongs to), experimenter (experimenter that led the session), enclosure (enclosure in which the animal was tested), behavior ("2_body_length": the individual reaches a radius of 2 body lengths from the object, "2_body_length": the individual reaches a radius of 1 body lengths from the object, "touch": the individual touches the object, "nothing": the individual is either not present in the video, or never gets within a distance of 2 body lengths to the object), duration_interaction(s) (seconds the animal interacts with the object during the video), first_approach_2 (whether this video was the one in which the animal approached the object within 2 body lengths for the first time in the session, can be "TRUE" or "FALSE"), latency_approach_2(h) (if this video depicts the animal\u27s first approach within 2 body lengths, the amount of time —in hours— that have passed between the beginning of the session and the time at which this video was recorded) first_approach_1 (whether this video was the one in which the animal approached the object within 1 body length for the first time in the session, can be "TRUE" or "FALSE"), latency_approach_1(h) (if this video depicts the animal\u27s first approach within 1 body length, the amount of time —in hours— that have passed between the beginning of the session and the time at which this video was recorded), first_touch (whether this video was the one in which the animal touched the object for the first time in the session, can be "TRUE" or "FALSE"), latency_touch(h) (if this video depicts the animal\u27s first time touching the object, the amount of time —in hours— that have passed between the beginning of the session and the time at which this video was recorded), and notes
