Nice to see our review out in @avianbiology.bsky.social! Flight is costly - but so are infections. We argue that infections may be a substantial, yet mostly overlooked, source for oxidative stress in migrating birds. doi.org/10.1002/jav.... #Migration #Birds #OxidativeStress #Ornithology 🪶 🧵1/5

Aves migratorias: cómo sobreviven en un mundo antrópico
Las aves migratorias sufren de manera especial las variaciones climáticas, ecológicas y urbanísticas derivadas del mundo en constante cambio en el que vivimos. Su supervivencia está en riesgo, así como los ecosistemas entre los que desarrollan sus vidas. Analizamos qué amenazas encaran de manera cíclica en sus rutas migratorias y por qué es importante protegerlas.

See our last research on Iberian blackcaps and their blood parasites. Proud of this team! 💪💪

We discovered that young of a small passerine bird, the Eurasian blackcaps, infected by haemosporidians, commonly known as avian malaria parasites, were delayed in the moult that confers these birds an adult plumage.
