Resumen de Do haemosporidians affect fuel deposition rate and fuel load in migratory blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla
Juan Arizaga Martínez, Emilio Barba Campos, M. Angeles Hernández
Fuel deposition rate is one of the main parameters determining bird migration strategies. Accordingly, factors compromising fuel deposition rate, such as parasite infections, might have relevant effects not only on migration, but also on other life history events that depend on migration success, such as breeding. We analysed the effect of haemosporidians on fuel load and fuel deposition rate in a population of migratory blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla) during stopover in northern Iberia
