Impacts on the physiology of tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) nestlings exposed to pesticides and ectoparasites
For my master project, I plan to verify whether the exposition to pesticides affects the physiology of tree swallow nestlings, using parameters linked to immune and nervous systems. Also, I would like to explore the possible link between pesticide exposition and the presence of a hematophagous parasite in the nest and their potential combined effects on nestlings.
