Blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla) with blood parasites have impaired oxidative status during autumn migration

This study finds that blackcaps with Plasmodium coinfections have impaired oxidative status during autumn migration, affecting lipid damage and antioxidant capacity, with impacts on fitness and population dynamics.

Sex- and age-specific body condition decline under warmer and drier breeding conditions in European robins

This study examines how environmental factors affect body condition in European robins, finding sex- and age-specific declines linked to temperature and soil moisture, with impacts on survival and population trends.

Delayed post-juvenile moult in malaria-infected European blackcaps

This study finds that malaria-like infections in juvenile birds delay their post-juvenile moult, potentially reducing their fitness by prolonging the period of incomplete plumage.
