Immunocompetence and Parasitism in Nestlings from Wild Populations
Nestling is a defenceless stage in the life of birds in several ways. For instance, the possibilities to escape infection and infestation by several parasitic diseases are greatly reduced in nestlings. This fact implies that a number of strategies and counter strategies could evolve in hosts to avoid parasites and in parasites to locate and exploit young hosts. An increasing number of nestlings...
متن کاملEvicting cuckoo nestlings from the nest: a new anti-parasitism behaviour.
As avian brood parasitism usually reduces hosts' reproductive success, hosts often exhibit strong defence mechanisms. While such host defences at the egg stage (especially egg rejection) have been extensively studied, defence mechanisms at the nestling stage have been reported only recently. We found a previously unknown anti-parasitism behaviour in the large-billed Gerygone, which is a host sp...
متن کاملReduced immunocompetence of nestlings in replacement clutches of the European magpie (Pica pica)
Laying date is one of the most important determinants of reproductive success and recruitment probability in birds. Late breeders usually £edge fewer chicks than individuals with earlier breeding dates, and £edglings produced late in the season have high mortality rates. Food availability and nestling mass have been evoked as the principal mechanistic links between laying date and o¡spring surv...

15 صفحه اولMitochondrial DNA variation in wild and hatchery populations of northern pike, Esox lucius L.
Esox lucius is an economically important freshwater species. Mitochondrial cytb, 12SrRNA, and 16SrRNA gene sequences were used in order to clarify the genetic variation and population structure in three E. Lucius populations, i.e., one Wild population (W) and two hatchery populations (Hatchery Population I-HPI and Hatchery Population II-HPII). A total of 55 individuals, with 19 from wild and 1...
