The two individually analyzed ω‐6 PUFAs did not differ between migrants and residents, although arachidonic acid showed a trend (arachidonic acid: F 1, 63 = 3.928, p = .052; linoleic acid: F 1, 63 = 1.370, p = .246).

a weak trendp = .168not close (p > 0.1)

Migrant blackbirds had lower relative levels of SFAs, yet they showed a weak trend ( p = .168) for higher absolute concentration of SFAs, compared to resident birds.

a trend toward significanceno p-value reported

Although there was no significant difference in the proportions of individual ω‐6 PUFAs between migrants and residents, the proportion of total ω‐6 PUFA was slightly higher in migrants, driven by the longer‐chained arachidonic acid, which showed a trend toward significance. ω‐3 PUFAs were previously suggested to be incorporated in the membrane of muscle cells in the migrating semipalmated sandpiper to boost their flight performance (Maillet & Weber, 2006 ).
