Abstract

The phytohaemagglutinin injection assay (PHA) test has little impact on the activity of HSP60 and HSP70 in blood cells in nestling house martins, Delichon urbica. It was also found that haematological parameters that could be influenced by the injection remained unchanged by the experimental treatment. The PHA test appears to be an easy in vivo test of immunocompetence for individual birds, with little effect on the normal development of nestlings.

Abstract

The condition-dependence of the arrival date in the male barn swallow (Hirundo rustica L.) and the role of carotenoids in mediating arrival date are investigated. Arrival date is condition-dependent in barn swallows, since high repeatability of arrival date, lower value of carotenoids in blood in early arriving males is found.
