International audienceThere is a great variability in migratory and reproductive phenotypes of European quail, Coturnix c. coturnix, that allows us to distinguish between diferente palearctic populations, namely in the western part of its breeding range. Consequently, subpopulations of diferente physiological statuses may overlap, especially in the median part of the distribution range of the species (e.g. in Portugal). Until now only morphophysiological criteria (the width of the subcutaneous pectoral lipid band and the moult stage) have been used to distinguish between different physiological stages but they were insufficiente concerning the distinction of migratory statuses. In February-April 1993, we studied the fatty acid composition o...
