Jose J. Cuervo, Auteur ; Juan J. Soler, Auteur ; Jesus M. Aviles, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Carlos Navarro, AuteurHematocrit, the proportion of blood volume occupied by packed red blood cells, is frequently used as an estimate of phenotypic condition. Some studies in birds, however, suggest that hematocrit might not always be a good estimate of condition. W[...]

Liesbeth de Neve, Auteur ; Juan J. Soler, Auteur ; Magdalena Ruiz-Rodríguez, Auteur ; David Martín-Gálvez, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurParasite pressure and nutrition are two of the most important factors affecting the trade-off between nestling growth and immune development. During development, energy and nutrients are often limited, and nestlings should only dedicate differen[...]

Magdalena Ruiz-Rodríguez, Auteur ; Juan J. Soler, Auteur ; Francoise S. Lucas, Auteur ; Philipp Heeb, Auteur ; Maria Jose Palacios, Auteur ; David Martín-Gálvez, Auteur ; Liesbeth de Neve, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Juan G. Martinez, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurDiversity of the gut bacterial community is of prime importance for optimal food digestion and, therefore, for nutritional condition of avian nestlings. Consequently, bacterial community should be considered as a predictor of the future survival[...]

Carlos Navarro, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Jesus M. Aviles, Auteur ; Kevin J. McGraw, Auteur ; Juan J. Soler, AuteurThe hypothesis that eggshell colouration is a sexually selected trait of female birds is based on the fact that biliverdin, the pigment responsible for blue-green colours of the eggshell, is a potent antioxidant and that only females with high a[...]

Manuel Martin-Vivaldi, Auteur ; Juan Jose Soler, Auteur ; Anders Pape Moller, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, AuteurThe intensity of selection exerted by brood parasites on their hosts depends on the proportion of nests that are parasitized and the fitness costs of parasitism. Nest detection by brood parasites influences the probability of parasitism, and we [...]
Article
David Martín-Gálvez, Auteur ; Liesbeth de Neve, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Manuel Soler, Auteur ; Juan Gabriel Martinez, Auteur ; Juan Jose Soler, AuteurBrood parasitic nestlings usually exhibit an exaggerated begging behaviour, which is mainly attributed to reduced inclusive fitness costs since they typically share the nest with unrelated individuals. However, energetic costs also constrain beg[...]
Article
Manuel Soler, Auteur ; Tomas Perez-Contreras, Auteur ; Juan Jose Soler, AuteurBrood parasites rely entirely on the parental care of host species to raise the parasitic nestlings until independence. The reproductive success of avian brood parasites depends on finding host nests at a suitable stage (i.e. during egg laying) [...]
