BLOOD PARASITES OF NEARCTIC–NEOTROPICAL MIGRANT PASSERINE BIRDS DURING SPRING TRANS-GULF MIGRATION: IMPACT ON HOST BODY CONDITION

To test the hypothesis that migrants infected with blood parasites arrive on the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico in poorer condition than uninfected birds, we examined 1,705 migrant passerine birds representing 54 species of 11 families from 2 Gulf Coast sites for blood parasites. Three hundred...
