Résumé :	Understanding changes in body temperature is central to several fields in biology, but determining these changes accurately without harming or restraining individuals can be challenging, particularly for small species. We tested first whether body temperature readings differed between passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags injected subcutaneously inter?scapulae (i.e. solely through the skin) and intra?peritoneally (through the skin and abdominal muscle wall) and, secondly, whether intra?peritoneal tag injuries differed among three weight classes of passerines. We found no significant difference in body temperature readings between subcutaneous inter?scapulae and intra?peritoneal PIT?tags, and observed that the intra?peritoneal injection of PIT?tags may cause adverse effects among smaller (
