Ervas aromáticas em ninhos de chapins (Parus major) contribuiu para a maior capacidade anabólica das crias, possivelmente devido aos efeitos repelentes contra ectoparasitas. Estudo experimental de Cláudia Norte em colaboração com a Univ. de Lódz, Polónia.

@infouex, in collaboration with @ECOTOP_UC, continues to use @DruidTechUbi tags on breeding species. If Kentish plovers are restricted to salina complex, some Little terns visit the main breeding areas between the fisheries in Tagus!
