DOI: 10.1017/s003118202200066x
Abstract: Abstract Abstract Wild birds are hosts of Culicoides from as early on as the nesting stage when constrained to their nests. However, the environmental factors which determine the abundance and composition of Culicoides species within… read more here.

Abstract: The potential for animals to respond to changing climates has sparked interest in intraspecific variation in avian nest structure since this may influence nest microclimate and protect eggs and offspring from inclement weather. However, there… read more here.

DOI: 10.5253/arde.v106i1.a8
Abstract: Blood sampling from the brachial vein and sub-cutaneous implantation of PIT-tags (‘passive integrated transponders’) are techniques widely practiced in ornithological research. Longer-term consequences of these procedures (across months or years) have been studied in detail.… read more here.
