Nest design and the abundance of parasitic Protocalliphora blow flies in two hole-nesting passerines
Original language description
Ectoparasites dwelling in bird nests regularly reduce reproductive success and condition of breeding birds. Thus, establishing the factors that determine the abundance of ectoparasites is important for better understanding of reproductive trade-offs andlife history evolution in birds. A recent hypothesis states that interspecific differences in the abundance of ectoparasites may be caused by nest composition. For example, great tits (Parus major) have nests made of mosses and fur, whereas Ficedula flycatchers have nests made of grasses, bast, and bark, and tits are more infested by nest-dwelling ectoparasites than flycatchers. We swapped nests between pairs of great tits and collared flycatchers (F albicollis) during egg-laying or early incubation andcounted parasitic Protocalliphora blow flies at the end of breeding to test this hypothesis experimentally. We controlled statistically for habitat (oak versus spruce forest), brood size, season, year, and mean nestling weight before fle

Stavba hnízda a množství parazitických much (Protocalliphora) u dvou dutinových pěvců
Czech description
Množství ektoparazitů v hnízdech se liší mezi druhy, avšak neznáme faktory, které jsou za to odpovědné. Studovali jsme vliv složení hnízda na množství krev sajících much r. Protocalliphora v hnízdech koňadry (Parus major) a lejska bělokrkého (Ficedula albicollis), jejichž hnízda se liší složením. Prohodili jsme mezi těmito druhy jejich hnízda a po vylétnutí mláďat jsem spočítali larvy much. Typ hnízda neměl na množství parazitických much vliv.
