Abstract

Trade-offs shape animal behaviour. For decades, the study of trade-offs has provided insight into how animals make decisions, but they have rarely been explored in relation to sleep. A new study reveals a role for sleep in saving energy in garden warblers on a stopover during a northward migration, but with ecological costs.
