Long term study on blood glucose levels in wintering great tits Parus major in sites differing in artificial food availability by Adam Kaliński, Michał Glądalski, Marcin Markowski, Joanna Skwarska, Jarosław Wawrzyniak, Jerzy Bańbura, Piotr Zieliński

“…We assumed that trophic conditions resulting from the use of artificial feeders that vary between sites across the years would affect the metabolic performance of birds and their physiological condition, which should be reflected in the blood glucose levels of wintering individuals. We showed that both females and males were characterised by significantly higher glucose levels at the study site, which was characterised by the high accessibility to human-provided food sources (forest clearing) than at the site with low and irregular artificial feeding. …”
