DOI: 10.1007/s00265-017-2315-3
Abstract: Parental provisioning of offspring should reflect selection on life history aspects of parenting and on foraging behavior. Life history and foraging theory generally make predictions about mean behavior, but some circumstances might favor changes in… read more here.

Effects of ambient temperature during the nestling stage on a stress indicator in nestling pied flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca

DOI: 10.1007/s00484-021-02199-6
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.

DOI: 10.1007/s10164-019-00585-7
Abstract: Few studies on song learning have been conducted in the field. Male pied flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca) seem to learn song syllables in the breeding grounds. Adult males arrive first to the breeding grounds and sing… read more here.

Sex-Specific Associations between Telomere Dynamics and Oxidative Status in Adult and Nestling Pied Flycatchers

DOI: 10.1086/697294
Abstract: Oxidative stress can contribute to an acceleration of telomere erosion, leading to cellular senescence and aging. Increased investment in reproduction is known to accelerate senescence, generally resulting in reduced future reproductive potential and survival. To… 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.

Delayed Age at First Breeding and Experimental Removals Show Large Non-Breeding Surplus in Pied Flycatchers

DOI: 10.5253/arde.v105i1.a2
Abstract: Avian breeding populations have been shown to be regulated by territorial behaviour, often creating a surplus of non-breeding individuals. However, most evidence is of a male non-breeder surplus, whereas for a surplus to actually buffer… read more here.
