<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=ES style='mso-ansi-language:ES'>This review
formally tests several widely held assumptions regarding the evolution of
molting strategies. </span>I performed an extensive literature review of <span
lang=ES style='mso-ansi-language:ES'>molt in seabirds, extracting information
on the pattern, duration, and timing (relative to breeding and migration) of
molt for 236 species of seabirds in three orders: Procellariiformes,
Pelecaniformes, and Charadriiformes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;
</span>I used these data to test three hypotheses relating to the evolution of
wing-molt strategies in seabirds: (1) that complex molt patterns are more
likely to occur in large birds; (2) whether wing size is an important
determinant of the duration of molt; (3) that non-migratory species are more
likely to overlap breeding and molt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;
</span>By applying traditional and phylogenetic comparative techniques to these
data, I found support for all three hypotheses in at least one major seabird
group. I hope that this review will serve as a guidepost for future
molt-related studies of seabirds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
