The costs of exploiting an organism's immune function are expected to form the basis many life–history trade–offs. However, there has been debate about whether such can be paid in energetic and nutritional terms. We addressed this question a study wintering, free–living, male great tits by injecting them with novel, non–pathogenic antigen (sheep red blood cells) measuring changes their basal metabolic rates various condition indices subsequent challenge. experiment showed that activation...
The integration and synthesis of the data in different areas science is drastically slowed hindered by a lack standards networking programmes. Long-term studies individually marked animals are not an exception. These especially important as instrumental for understanding evolutionary ecological processes wild. Furthermore, their number global distribution provides unique opportunity to assess generality patterns address broad-scale issues (e.g. climate change). To solve enable new scale...
From late April to the second 10-day period of June 1994–1999, in 76 unmated males time-budget was measured during 304 hours a 6.6 km2 area mature mixed and coniferous forests near Moscow. In 1999, territorial were counted at least once per pentade throughout breeding season 35 ha plot with 180 nest-boxes. Dark (grades 2–3 on Drost's scale) pale 5–7) had similar levels singing activity, but cold weather former higher song rates than latter. The activity all relatively low beginning (by...
Individual resoluteness during the resumption of feeding nestlings was examined in tests involving presentation an unfamiliar object near nests pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) a natural environment. Over course five breeding seasons, 229 individuals were tested, 41 which tested 2 to 4 times. Repeat testing same birds conducted at different with intervals ranging from 3 1103 days (Med=367). We took into account number and age nestlings, nesting periods, sex individual its partner,...
At the beginning of breeding season on Curonian Spit Baltic Sea in vicinity Fringilla field station, chicken feathers and dog hair dyed various colors with household dyes for wool were laid out at different points. During season, nests birds labeled material searched disassembled by components after nestlings flew it. Quantitative data mass structure five species Passerine obtained, their seasonal dynamics analyzed, distance from which portions brought to was measured. It revealed that...
