Passage:
Ecologists studying avian migration patterns in North America observed that songbirds migrating during autumn rely heavily on high-fat berries produced by native shrubs along coastal stopover sites. In areas where invasive non-native plant species replaced native flora, the fruit available contained significantly lower lipid concentrations. Consequently, songbirds spending extended time at stopover sites dominated by non-native plants gained weight at a slower rate than those resting in native-dominated habitats, despite consuming equal volumes of fruit.
Statement: Based on the passage premises, a songbird feeding exclusively on non-native fruit would require more time to achieve a target weight gain than a songbird consuming an equal daily volume of native fruit.
