Abstract: Long-term and short-term changes in ambient temperature can cause stress in birds, leading to changes in the level of hematological parameters. The H:L ratio (heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratio) is a hematological index that allows for the assessment… read more here.

Abstract: Food-chain changes in urban and industrial sites may limit breeding-time resources (e.g. food availability) for small insectivorous passerines. We used a long-term data set of pied flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca), collected from one of the most… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0360
Abstract: There is no consensus yet on the reasons why females engage in extra-pair copulations (EPCs). In some species, females have been shown to accrue some indirect benefits, but these effects are not consistent across species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ibi.12493
Abstract: Tracking small passerines using miniaturised location tags is a rapidly expanding field of study. In a one-year study, we tested whether there were any short- or longer-term effects of fitting geolocators weighing 3% of body… read more here.
