New study relating haemosporidian infections and risk-taking behaviours in young male blackcaps. I‘m really excited to see this study published in Animal Behaviour. Congrats to all coauthors!

NEW PAPER https://t.co/ijFi6O5aJr!
In nature time is precious. 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🪶

[Carolina Remacha @CarolinaRemacha]

For birds, a delayed postjuvenile moult may have carry-over effects on Darwinian fitness, as acquiring late the adult plumage can interfere with the protective or signalling functions of the plumage, or with the scheduling of migration.
Congrats to all coauthors!

The relationship is robust because it comes from a study of 26 Iberian populations of blackcaps, which face high parasite prevalence from very early ages, spanning a broad range of environments.

Our results show that haemosporidian infections can influence blackcap risk-taking behaviours and support the view that host behavioural repertoires are broadly associated with parasitism.

Alarm calling: infected medicated individuals tended to alarm-call more often than infected unmedicated individuals, a weak effect of medication which was not observed in parasite free birds.(7/8)
